Canadian Weather Map Layer Description: Time Range, Extent, Styles (MSC GeoMet)

mscgeometwms/layer-info

The description of one MSC GeoMet weather layer from the web map service capabilities: name, title, abstract, whether it can be queried at a point, its geographic bounding box, the time dimension (available extent as start/end/step and the default, newest, time) and the style names. Use it to find the newest valid time of a layer before reading it with mscgeometwms/layer-value. The abstract is cut to 1500 characters and at most 20 style names are returned.
