The data can be downloaded on the same grid as DataMart is not subsetting is requested. If subsetting is requested, than a different grid will be requested.
Instructions for Creating a Subset Grid are provided at the near the end of this documentation.
1) Data Provider Documentation
...
1) Define the bounding box coordinates (https://boundingbox.klokantech.com/, try Dublincore below Copy and Paste for clarity)
2) Fill in the url query below:
https://geo.weather.gc.ca/geomet?SERVICE=WCS&VERSION=2.0.1&REQUEST=GetCoverage&COVERAGEID=$VARIABLE_ID$&SUBSETTINGCRS=EPSG:4326&SUBSET=x($westlimit$,$eastlimit$)&SUBSET=y($southlimit$,$northlimit$)&FORMAT=image/netcdf
where:
$VARIABLE_ID$ is from the WCS getCapabilities, or from the externalIDs in this document.
$westlimit$, $eastlimit$, $southlimit$ $northlimit$ are an integer bounding box
3) Paste the query in a webbrowser to download a sample file.
4) In your FEWS application, use the functionaility from the F12 menu --> Clipboard --> Copy grib geometry from file.
5) Paste the grid definition in your grids.xml file. Save and reload FEWS.
6) Run the workflow in DEBUG mode to get the url query generated by FEWS.
7) Use this FEWS generated URL query in a browser to download an additional NetCDF file, then repeat steps 4 and 5.
4) Known issues
Subsetting definitions are currently required (original grids cannot be pulled).
Delays are not configurable, meaning that on Stand Alone the T0 may need to be slightly earlier than the current timeNo known outstanding issues.
