FAQ
GRB2 to SVGZ 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 SVGZ files?
SVGZ is an extension attached to SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) images with GZIP compression. Such files can contain animations or interactive graphics, including vector objects, images and text, while supporting layer rendering, transparency, filter effects and several other features. As a version of SVG, the SVGZ format is based on an open standard and uses the XML markup language, being supported by most web browsers. The main advantage of SVGZ over its uncompressed variant is size, which can be 20 to 50 percent smaller.
