Awesome, once again i'm surprised in a good way by whats possible in gs and its friends. it looks like the rendering side is very advanced here, but on the other side i really want to do as little pre-processing as possible, as our data is volatile, hence using the netcdf directly by some

We have some home made renderers for NetCDF, are you aiming for something like this - http://bit.ly/ePc0Tp. Simon recently posted an SLD styled layer for winds as well - http://bit.ly/gRlY7B. You might also be interested in Thredds WMS -

Ciao Ivan, long story short: - in the past we used to publish netcdf directly but we dropped tha approach in favour of using an imagemosaic with a time and elevation/depth dimension - we are working on doing contouring and class-based visualization using these example: http://bit.ly/g24vHB
