[Go-essp-tech] The geospatial and temporal coverage in THREDDS catalogs

[Nebojsa Balic]

   Dear Stephen,
In the course of regular harvesting of THREDDS catalogs, I have noticed 
certain irregularities in terms of the structure of the catalogs varying 
from datanode to datanode. These relate to the geospatial and temporal 
coverage elements that appear mainly in the aggregations. The 
aggregations are in the BADC catalogs given on the level of normal 
chunks whereas by IPSL they reside under separate folder. Is there any 
general agreement in terms of where these elements should appear in the 
catalogs? I would also like to ask if the geospatial coverage of an 
aggregation  represents the geospatial coverage of the chaunks related 
to this aggregation?
Thanking in advance
