Abstract

More and more Earth science data are made available in HDF-EOS 5 format which is a profile of HDF-5 for Earth science data. New version of OGC Web Coverage Service (WCS) supports data of multiple bands and transaction operation optionally that are desirable for Earth science applications. A WCS server was developed following the new specification in this project. The WCS was applied in serving Aura HIRDLS Level 2 data in HDF-EOS 5 format, including cases for severe weather detection and tracking. System implementation, native support of HDF-EOS 5, example requests and responses, and implementation experiences are discussed in this paper.
