6.4.3.3 DescribeCoverage

The client will need to issue a DescribeCoverage request to obtain a full description of one or more coverages available. The server responds to such a request with an XML document describing one or more coverages served by the WCS. DescribeCoverage request URL: http:geobrain.laits.gmu.eduows8aviationgoeswindwcs?service=wcsversion=2.0.0r equest=describecoveragecoverageid=GOES-WEST-201110509Z:Cloud-Drift-Wind

6.4.3.4 GetCoverage

The GetCoverage operation allows the retrieval of coverages from a coverage offering. The WCS server processes a GetCoverage request and returns a response file to the client. For GOES Wind data, KML and WXXM format are supported. This WCS also supports the rangeSubset, where the client can select a range of interest by specifying its corresponding field name. If the rangeSubset parameter is not specified, all fields will be returned.
