The CanadaMeteoWCS data import allows access and import of gridded Numerical Weather Prediction and re-analysis data from the Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) GeoMet Services.
Specifically the Web Coverage Service (WCS) documented on the MSC Open Data portal.
This import builds a WCS url query and imports the returned netCDF file.
