*The screenshot shows how results from the Carrot Rust Fly temperature model are presented in VIPS. You select date using the slider in the lower left corner, and you select parameter using the radio buttons in the lower right corner. By clicking in the map, a popup shows the warning status and values of any other parameters.*

The output files must be data files for a WMS service. A common format for this purpose is [GeoTIFF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeoTIFF). To convert data from NetCDF to GeoTIFF, we use [GDAL](https://gdal.org/), for example:
