Objective and Current Status
Station point data delivery using comma-separated values, CSV, format is easy, compact and convenient. The format can be fed to any spreadsheet and consumed easily with custom software. Unfortunately, the format makes embedding metadata in a CF-like convention difficult.
Example of WCS GetCoverage query returning an envelope with uri to the result CSV file:
http://data1.datafed.net:8080/AQS?Service=WCS&Version=1.1.2&Request=GetCoverage&Identifier=AQS_H&Format=text/csv&Store=true&TimeSequence=2007-05-12/2007-05-12T06:00:00/PT1H&RangeSubset=pm25nr[location[350439004,350610008]]&BoundingBox=-130,24,-60,50,urn:ogc:def:crs:OGC:2:84
