FAQ
GRB to CIT Conversion
What are GRB files?
GRB is a file extension used for GRIB (GRIdded Binary), a standard of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) for storing and exchanging weather and climate data on a regular grid. The format is widely used for forecasts from numerical weather prediction models, such as temperature, pressure, wind, humidity, and precipitation. A file of this type is a sequence of messages, and each message holds one set of values for a single parameter, level, and time, together with a description of the grid and the date of the forecast. The format exists in two main editions: GRIB1, introduced around 1990, and the newer GRIB2, which uses the .grb2 or .grib2 extensions. Data are compactly packed, so large forecast archives take little space.
What are CIT files?
A CIT file represents a black-and-white raster image created using an Intergraph Security, Government and Infrastructure (SG&I) piece of software. Until a few years ago, Intergraph was considered one of largest software developers in the world, and is part of Hexagon AB since 2010. The company provides IT services all over the world to governments and businesses, and apart from the SG&I division it also includes one called Process, Power & Marine (PP&M) and another called Hexagon Geospatial.
