The service has 11 exposed functions, NDFDgen, NDFDgenLatLonList, NDFDgenByDay, NDFDgenByDayLatLonList, LatLonListSubgrid, LatLonListLine, LatLonListZipCode, CornerPoints, LatLonListSquare, GmlLatLonList, and LatLonListCityNames. For the NDFDgen function, the client needs to provide a latitude and longitude pair and the product type. The client also needs to provide the start and end time (Local) of the period that it wants data for.

The client also needs to provide the format that is desired. For the multi point versions, NDFDgenLatLonList and NDFDgenByDayLatLonList a space delimited list of latitude and longitude pairs are substituted for the single latitude and longitude input. Each latitude and longitude pair is composed of a latitude and longitude delimited by a comma.

The service then returns a list of latitude and longitude pairs for all the grid points contained in the subgrid. weather values should appear in the time series product. For the LatLonListLine, The inputs are the same as the function NDFDgen except the latitude and longitude pair is replaced by two latitude and longitude pairs, one for each end point a line. The two points are delimited with a space. The service then returns data for all the NDFD points on the line formed by the two points. For the LatLonListZipCode function, the input is the same as the NDFDgen function except the latitude and longitude values are relaced by a z...
