Developer’s Corner: Improved NetCDF/GRIB support on GeoServer

Dear Readers, today we want to share some improvements we made in GeoServer in supporting NetCDF and GRIB datasets. As you know, NetCDF and GRIB are commonly used format in the Meteorological and Oceanographic (MetOc) context for observational data and numerical modeling, being a platform independent format used to represent multidimensional array-oriented scientific data. As an instance, data for air temperature, water current, wind speed computed by mathematical models across multiple dimensions, such as time, depth/elevation or physical entities measured by sensors may be served as NetCDF datasets. In the last years, we have improved the GeoTools library in such a...

Who’s scared of advanced GeoServer workshops?

Apparently, the FOSS4G Europe attendees are not scared of advanced GeoServer workshops. Tuesday 15th of July, GeoSolutions gave a workshop called "GeoServer on steroids: getting the best out of GeoServer" at FOSS4G Europe, in Como (Italy). We managed to attract more than 60 attendees, so much that it had to be run by two separate teachers, our tech leads Andrea Aime and Mauro Bartolomeoli, in two different computer labs. In our view, this is a sign of maturity of the FOSS4G conferences, which over the years collected a number of returning attendees, people that went past the basics and crave for some more advanced training....

Developer’s Corner: Customizable arrow in GeoServer

Dear Reader, Today we want to share a recent development in  GeoServer: an arrow mark whose proportions can be customized to get the type of arrow you're looking for. The general syntax for this arrow mark is the following: <WellKnownName>extshape://arrow?hr=[hrValue]&t=[tValue]&ab=[abValue]</WellKnownName> All parameters are ratios, and they are all optional. By default the arrow is the usual 1 by 1 mark, whose actual size you can control in SLD via the Mark size attribute. In particular, the parameters and their default values are: t: thickness of the arrow base, between 0 and 1, default is 0.2 hr: height over width ratio,...
