Serving time-dependent curvi-linear netCDF-CF model output as OGC WMS

Some notes related to publishing time dependent model output as WMS:

Real-size numerical model test files with WMS and time depedency (files will be removed at some point in future):

Viewing time-dependent curvi-linear WMS: Rijkswaterstaat webviewer

These model-generated output served as WMS works in standard web viewers that offer the 'external WMS' functionality, e.g. the Rijkswaterstaat mapviewer. This viewer does not handle time and colorscalerange.
