Hi,<br><br>I have been working here at the NASA DISC to implement a kml file that calls MapServer WMS for Tropical Rainfall hourly data.<br><br><a href="ftp://disc2.nascom.nasa.gov/data/TRMM/Gridded/Hurricane_Maps/Archive/KMZ_files/trmm-3B42-NRT.kmz">
ftp://disc2.nascom.nasa.gov/data/TRMM/Gridded/Hurricane_Maps/Archive/KMZ_files/trmm-3B42-NRT.kmz</a><br>(kmz is only a zipped kml file.)<br>"That file links to a reflector (cgi-script) which is called each time the camera stop and refreshing Google Earth with a new map.
<br> An interesting point is that Google Earth passes the BBOX to the reflector. "<br><br>As mentionned in previous mesages, version GE 4.0 Beta now support WMS GetCapabilities request. (ADD->Image Overlay->Refresh->WMS parameter)
<br><br>I don't think the amount of work involve to create a basic KML driver will be much. <br><br>I have done a lot of works with google earth lately, if you need some input let me know.<br><br>Denis<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">
