FAQ
GRIB2 to DCM Conversion
What are GRIB2 files?
GRIB2 is the second edition of the GRIB standard of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), introduced in the early 2000s to replace the first edition. It stores weather, ocean, and climate data on a grid, and it is now the main format used by national weather services for publishing model forecasts, radar-based products, and wave and sea condition data. Compared with the first edition, it describes the data more precisely, supports many more kinds of products, and allows larger messages, so that a modern global forecast can be stored without loss of detail. A single file may contain many fields, such as pressure, wind, and precipitation, for different times and heights. The format is also found with the .grb2 and .grb extensions.
What are DCM files?
A DCM file is a DICOM file, meaning it follows the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard for storing, transmitting, and managing medical imaging data. This standard ensures interoperability between medical imaging equipment and software, allowing images to be shared across scanners, servers, workstations, and network systems. DCM files are most commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and private medical practices that rely on medical imaging equipment such as CT, MRI, and ultrasound devices.
