        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>There are times where WCS is appropriate, and times when
          WMS is more than satisfactory. In fact, when I was doing this
          before, the WFS point presentation also maintained semantics,
          and facilitated postprocessing. The sparse nature of surface
          and upper air observations don't lend themselves, as easily,
          to a coverage.
