What

Web Server

Build and serve heliopropa's visualizations. It's a flask webserver, serving d3.js plots. It also gathers NetCDF data from AMDA, and serves it as CSV to the plotter.

Rationale

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