GMU WCS Server - DataFed Client Test
Accessing a test file from the GMU WCS server was completed successfully without a hitch. This possibility of actually seeing the service at work and playing with the paramters was immensily useful for this service chaining experiment. Overall it allows us to see both the progress we have in exposing satellite data through WCS as well as the remaining issues of service interoperability.
The WCS getCoverage for this test file was given by Peisheng Zhao of GMU as:
http://laits.gmu.edu/cgi-bin/NWGISS/WCS1020? request=getCoverage&service=WCS& version=1.0.20& COVERAGE=%2Fdata4%2Figodata%2FMOD021KM.A2001038.1615.002.2001047054313.hdf%3ASwath%3AMODIS_SWATH_Type_L1B%3AEV_1KM_RefSB& CRS=EPSG:4326& RESPONSE_CRS=EPSG:4326& BBOX=-92.323402,21.9771,-62.770599,43.1637& FORMAT=HDF-EOS& WIDTH=500&HEIGHT=500& store=true
As requested, the WCS query returned a pointer to an HDF-EOS file. The images below are renderings of the various test queries using the IDL-based ENVI data visuaisation/processing softare.
Spatial Subsetting by BBOX Works Fine
This facility worked as expected. The two images below show that the data are properly set in the requested BBOX, filling the empty space with NULLS
Subsampling Grid-Resolution Change Works Fine
The WCS query allows requesting a user-specified grid resolution of the returned data. The WIDTH=500 HEIGHT=500 parameters define the frid size. The two images below show two grid resolutions for 500 and 2000 pixels respectively. Clearly, the subsampling algorithm is working fine.
WCS Query Questions
- The WCS getCoverage request returns only one MODIS granule. Hence:
- The user needs to know the precise file name of the granule. Question: How do I get that name.
- Since each MODIS granule is a different coverage, the
- Getting a coverage for multi-granule requires mosaic services using the necessary granules
