<p style>Hi all,</p><p style>I'd like to find the best way to use Paraview when my data is on a remote THREDDS server. I'm not an expert on paraview or threads so I'd love to hear from anyone with experience doing this.</p>
<p style>I'm interested in visualising climate / weather data that is stored in netCDF format (conforming to CF conventions) on a THREDDS server. The THREDDS system in an implementation of DAP and allows the user to download partial files (just the data you need) using a url-based system. This avoids the redundant downloading of huge files if only a small amount of the contents are of interest. Can paraview be used in this way?</p>
<p style>I know that paraview can handle netCDF data (and CF conventions). However I don't know how to access remote netCDF data with DAP / THREDDS. Perhaps something could be done with python bindings for netCDF or DAP? Perhaps writing a new plugin is required? Surely someone has done this before me? Any guidance gratefully accepted!</p>
