FAQ
GRIB to EPI Conversion
What are GRIB files?
GRIB (GRIdded Binary) is the standard format of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) for weather and climate data laid out on a grid. It was created in 1985 by the WMO Commission for Basic Systems to replace older formats of the Aeronautical Data Format family, and it became the main way for forecasting centers around the world to share the results of their computer models. A file of this type may contain many separate records, each describing one quantity, such as air temperature, wind speed, or rainfall, for a given height and moment in time. The format is compact, which suits the huge volumes of forecast data produced several times a day. It exists in two editions, GRIB1 and GRIB2, and both can appear under the .grib extension.
What are EPI files?
EPI (Encapsulated Interchange Script) is an interchange format associated with Adobe Illustrator and represents a vector file used by graphic designers to create and edit drawings. EPI files can contain maps, logos, page layouts or several other types of drawings including text and graphics. Due to their vector format, EPI files can be incompatible with most popular image viewers.
