 This document explains how to use MapServer to deliver Landsat, SPOT, DEM, and NetCDF temporal/banded data through the MapServer WCS interface.  Thanks go to Steve Lime and Frank Warmerdam for their assistance with these projects
 
 Landsat
 =======
 
-To serve Landsat imagery through the MapServer Web Coverage Service specify the OutputFormat Object. For format support install the GDAL library and from the Command Prompt cd to where GDAL is installed and use the command, gdalinfo --formats. A list of all supported formats will appear and will specify if the format is read only **<ro>** or read and write **<rw>** for WCS the format needs to be supported for read and write.

 For the example below the Landsat 7 15m resolution mosaic is in a Enhanced Compressed Wavelets format (ECW). By running the gdalinfo.exe program I could verify that the ECW format has write permissions, therefore the format can be specified in the MapFile and requested using the GetCoverage request. ::

+When you start doing temporal subsetting with WCS and MapServer you can see the need for an automatic way of generating map files such as using an XSL stylesheet!
+
+For a tile-index layer you need to provide the following extra metadata in order to use it for WCS:
+
+::
+
+    "OWS_EXTENT" "10050 299950 280050 619650" 
+    "WCS_RESOLUTION" "100 100" 
+    "WCS_SIZE" "2700 3197"
+    "WCS_BANDCOUNT" "3"
+
+If your image has a colortable and only one band, it will come out greyscale unless you set 
+the IMAGEMODE to PC256 instead of BYTE.
