WMS Database Modified
The WMS Database changes on a release-to-release basis, as some new servers are
added and other servers are removed because they are no longer online or because their
availability is too sporadic. A total of 151 servers (7.52% of the number of servers listed
in R2011a) and 16,466 layers have been removed from the database. A total of 7,768 new
servers, with 30,525 layers, have been added. The new database contains a total of 9,632
servers and 97,146 layers.
If you want to find a new server, use the server URL or a server URL search string
with wmsfind to search for layers provided by the server or servers. Then use the
WMSLayer.servers method to obtain the server or server URLs:
layers = wmsfind(urlSearchString, 'SearchField', 'serverurl')
servers = layers.servers
The following updates have been made to the WMS Database since the last release:
• 7,708 new WMS servers from Unidata's Thematic Realtime Environmental
Distributed Data Services (THREDDS) project. These servers are provided
through several different institutions. Search for the layers and servers using the
urlSearchString: 'thredds'.
• 7 new WMS servers from various institutions that provide layers focused on Japan:
