FAQ
GRB2 to APNG Conversion
What are GRB2 files?
GRB2 is a file extension for the second edition of GRIB (General Regularly-distributed Information in Binary form), a World Meteorological Organization (WMO) standard for gridded weather, ocean, and climate data. Compared with the first edition, GRIB2 describes the data in greater detail and with higher precision, including coordinates stored in micro-degrees and a larger range of parameters, vertical levels, and message lengths. A file of this type is a series of messages, and a single message can contain several data fields that share the same origin and date. National weather services use it to distribute model forecasts, radar-derived products, and ocean and wave data. The same format is also found with the .grib2 and .grb extensions.
What are APNG files?
The APNG format is also known as "animated PNG" and is made up of a series of PNG files of the same size that are connected as an animation. APNG files are similar in function with GIFs, but they support better quality images and transparency.
