web coverage server

Hi,

having used MapServer WCS for DEM data (fantastic, thanks for the help), I am looking to use the WCS
for temporal data too.  

In particular I was thinking of using the WCS to serve netCDF data, filtering on temporal dimensions, 
and dataset parameters (not doing any geographic subset as yet).  

My questions are;

1) GDAL seems to have problems with netCDF, would I be better to translate to geotiff where each band represents 
a dataset parameter?

2) Has anyone done something similar?

Quoting from the WCS howto 
Only spatial, simple temporal and radiometric band subsetting is possible with the current implementation 


Does that mean I would have to convert to geotiff to support querying by dataset parameter, since each band could represent a different
parameter?

Any help on the time dimensions would be appreciated.

Are there any examples (however small) I could look at.

Many thanks,

Norman Barker
