Questions & Answers
GRIB2 files: Frequently Asked Questions
What are GRIB2 files?
GRIB2 is a binary format for gridded weather and environmental data that makes the description of the data flexible. Instead of a fixed layout, it uses ready-made templates to say how the grid is built, what kind of product is stored, and how the values are packed, which lets one format cover regular latitude and longitude maps, projected grids, ensemble forecasts, and observations. Each message begins with the letters GRIB and ends with 7777, and a single message can carry several fields that share the same origin and date. The values are stored in compressed form, with the option of stronger methods than in the first edition, and missing points can be marked with a bitmap. To convert a GRIB2 file to graphics, a program lists the fields it contains, lets you pick one by quantity, level, and time, restores the real numbers, and places them on the grid according to its template. The field is then painted with a color scale, for example blue to red for temperature, and saved as PNG, JPEG, or TIFF, or as GeoTIFF with coordinates. Several fields can be turned into several images or into the layers of one file. Supported by degrib and the NCAR Command Language.
