What

Rationale

  • Reading NetCDF from javascript is doable, but still very hacky.
  • The bridge can handle pagination and collecting multiple NetCDF into one CSV.

Install

Prerequisites

gcc libncurses-dev python3 python3-virtualenv libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3

CentOs 6 Shenanigans

yum install https://centos6.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
yum install python27*

But then virtualenv yields

Solution: Configure Apache to use web/run_ssa.wsgi and use pip2.7 install system wide.

Install libcdf.

wget https://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/software/cdf/dist/cdf38_1/cdf38_1-dist-all.tar.gz
tar -xzvf cdf38_1-dist-all.tar.gz
cd cdf38_1-dist
make all OS=linux ENV=gnu
make INSTALLDIR=/usr/local/lib/libcdf install
