<p class="MsoNormal">I have a series of files with file names in the format<b> <span style="background:white">{coveragename}_{<wbr>timestamp}.tif</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode","sans-serif";color:#262523;background:white">.</span><u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
I need to query a single layer composed of the data from all these files and<br>
see the data by varying the TIME parameter in my GetMap request.<br>
<br>
GeoServer provides a tutorial on how to setup an Image Mosaic as time series layer.<br>
<br>
Is there way to get the same effect in MapServer.<br>
