the supportedFormats that we define in our coverage store layer.xml

···

GIF

PNG

JPEG

TIFF

GEOTIFF

GRIB

GRIB2

are all listed in the response of a DescribeCoverage request for WCS 1.0.0, but when we make a DescribeCoverage request for the same layer using WCS 1.1.1, we only get a subset: GRIB, GRIB2, GIF and GEOTIFF are absent. can anybody lend insight for why this might be?

None of the above is a valid mime type, and if I recall correctly WCS 1.1.1
spec mandates use of mime types.
If you look at standard delegate they support both a short name, and a mime
type,
the first is used in WCS 1.0, the second in WCS 1.1
