Kathleen,

I wrote the following reply, and then realized that you may not be asking for this. Have you seen http://mapserver.org/ogc/wcs_format.html?

For completeness, I will leave my original response as well.

Kathleen,

Neither have I done this before nor do I know the answer, but I *am* interested in how you solve it since I have interest in munging a bunch of netCDF data. I am wondering, couldn't you use the standard variable substitution as Mapserver supports that for stuff like layer names and class names? Something like (do check the exact syntax)

PROCESSING "BANDS=%band%"

and then past in the band via the query string ?band=1
