These links point to examples of TAMU's WMS for this collection. The t0= and t= parameters are SCOOP specific parameters and if not present will default to recent values. For WMS client software, the OnlineResource for this would be: http://mesonet.tamu.edu/cgi-bin/scoop_elcirc?t0=20080129T0000&t=20080129T0100& while the GetCapabilities document would be: http://mesonet.tamu.edu/cgi-bin/scoop_elcirc?t0=20080129T0000&t=20080129T0100&service=wms&request=GetCapabilities As of 2008-01-29, these URLs do not work for QGIS. uDig can access the GetCapabilities URL, but the information contained does not interpret well. http://sura-vims-pe6600-1.vims.edu/~drf/SCOOP/WMSelcircCapabilities.xml is an example GetCapabilities document suitable for uDig with more informative titles.
