You can specify the vertical dimension field in the Vertical property of the Mosaic Dataset Properties Defaults for mosaic datasets or on the NetCDF tab on the Layer Property page for NetCDF layers. You can also perform the getMap request to use ELEVATION (a keyword defined in the WMS specification) if the vertical dimension field has been specifically defined in the mosaic dataset or NetCDF layer, before publishing services. TIME-Supports time queries by specifying a time instance or time GetCapabilitiesįor WMS services containing any time or elevation aware layers, the TIME or ELEVATION parameter can be added. You can get a WMS service's service-level metadata, a map image, or attribute values of a feature by sending a URL request to the server and viewing the corresponding responses in the browser as either an XML document or an image.īelow are some sample requests and responses for each operation supported by a WMS service. Unlike a standard web service, a SOAP client is not necessary for consuming a WMS service, and a web browser is the simplest client. The online resource of each operation supported by a compliant WMS server is an HTTP uniform resource locator (URL), so a WMS service can be considered as a Representational State Transfer (REST) service. You can use URL parameters to communicate with a WMS service in a web browser.
