What is the GRIB Viewer?

The GRIB Viewer version 2 visualises the GRIB data broadcast over the DWDSAT system, and data from the Norway & Danish and Météo France OSI-SAF broadcast over EUMETCast.  You can also visit the Yahoo DWDSAT group to exchange ideas with other DWDSAT users, and the MSG-1 self-help group to discuss EUMETCast data products.

 

What data does it read?

  • DWDSAT GRIB data available from the EUMETCast system (as used for Meteosat-8/9 reception).  Most data is free, however you still need to register with DWD (or perhaps EUMETSAT).  Some DWDSAT data is a separately paid-for service from DWD.
  • Norway and Denmark OSI-SAF sea-ice products
    • Sea-ice edge, type and concentration, in 10 km resolution polar stereographic grid covering the Atlantic part of the Arctic broadcast over EUMETCast (S-OSI_-NOR)
    • Northern hemisphere sea-ice over FTP (ICE_CONC_NH)
    • Southern hemisphere sea-ice over FTP (ICE_CONC_SH)
  • Météo France OSI-SAF products
    • Low and Medium Latitudes Downward Longwave Irradiance (LML DLI)
    • Low and Medium Latitudes Solar Surface Irradiance (LML SSI)
    • Low and Medium Latitudes Sea-Surface Temperature (LML SST)
    • Merged Atlantic Products Downward Longwave Irradiance (MAP DLI)
    • Merged Atlantic Products Solar Surface Irradiance (MAP SSI)
    • North Atlantic & Regional seas Sea-Surface Temperature (7 areas) (NAR SST)
  • Selected UK Met Office DPDS data
  • EUMETSAT MPE (Multi-sensor Precipitation Estimate) data available over EUMETCast and online here.  There are 2/4 files per hour per satellite; each file is about 800 KB size.  This data covers both the Meteosat-7 (Indian Ocean) and Meteosat-8/9 (Europe, Africa and some South America) regions.  More information about EUMETSAT products.
  • EUMETSAT CLAI (cloud analysis image), CTH (cloud-top height), and DIV (divergence) data sent over EUMETCast.
  • GRIB files produced in connection with the MaxSea service.
