This is the user guide for ncWMS - a piece of software for visualising and exploring environmental data in a browser. It can be run on a server to make your data available over the web or locally for personal use.
To see the capabilities of ncWMS, we have a demo site available
ncWMS is a Web Map Service for geospatial data that are stored in CF-compliant NetCDF files. The intention is to create a WMS that requires minimal configuration: the source data files should already contain most of the necessary metadata. ncWMS is developed and maintained by the Reading e-Science Centre (ReSC) at the University of Reading, UK.
ncWMS v2 is build on top of the EDAL libraries developed by ReSC
This guide provides instructions on installing, setting up, and using ncWMS v2.
