Has anyone implemented client-server access for netCDF data?
Yes, as part of the OPeNDAP framework, developers have implemented a client-server system for access to remote data that supports use of the netCDF interface for clients. The software is available from the OPeNDAP download site. After linking your netCDF application with the OPeNDAP netCDF library, you can use URL’s to access data from other sites running an OPeNDAP server. This supports accessing small subsets of large datasets remotely through the netCDF interfaces, without copying the datasets. The GrADS Data Server provides subsetting and analysis services across the Internet for any GrADS-readable dataset, including suitable netCDF datasets.
