The GrADS-DODS Server
- A specialized version of GrADS that will interpret a DODS URL received via the
network and, following the requested processing,
- return a DODS data stream to the
requesting client.
There are two significant benefits that derive from the use of GrADS in this fashion:
- processing can be performed at the server site, and
- the GrADS-DODS server can serve any data set via DODS that GrADS can
read. GRIB is an example of such a data set for which no other DODS server
exists.
