GRB to FLIF 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 FLIF files?
FLIF (Free Lossless Image Format) is a royalty-free format launched at the end of 2015 as "work in progress" with the aim of offering a better alternative for storing lossless images than the existing PNG, WebP, BPG, JPEG2000 and JPEG XR. FLIF provides similar image quality as the other extensions, but in a file size than can be up to 74% smaller. The new format uses a form of the Adam7 algorithm for compressing images, offering progressive interlacing that allows users to obtain a reasonable encoding of an image even from a partial download.
