FAQ
GRIB2 to PDF 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 PDF files?
PDF (Portable Document Format) is one of the most popular formats used for storing document files which include both text and graphics. As opposed to other formats with a similar function, PDFs can be easily transferred between different applications and different operating systems, and generally don't have a very large size. Moreover, they can offer decent image quality in a compressed format and can be secured with passwords or watermarks.
