Coverage Processor for Cubes
< Back to Glossary | Edit with Form
Coverage_Processor_for_Cubes Description: This component extracts a subset of out of a NetCDF-CF cube file. It reads the source file, reads the requested subset, and writes that into a NetCDF-CF file. The output is has the same attributes looks exactly like the original file, except it is a filtered subset. Used in WCS GetCoverage Query.

Term Details
The Coverage Processor is a component that performs two different activities:
- WCS Query Parser. The syntax is checked and parsed into a structured object.
- Subsetter. This component finds the desired coverage and applies filters to read a subset of the data:
- Coverage: Locate the source file.
- Fields: A client querying wind data may be interested in speed and direction, but reject air pressure.
- Bounding Box: restrict response to certain geographical area.
- Time: Default time, One time, list of times, periodic range of times.
- Grid size and interpolation: High resolution data can be interpolated to lower resolution.
- By dimension: Select only one or some wavelengths or elevations.
- Write the result into a NetCDF-CF cube.
Currently there is no formatter, the only supported output is NetCDF-CF. The NetCDF-CF based processor is completely generic for any compatible netCDF-CF file.
