Our Weather System, Part 2—GRIBs

This is the second in a series of three posts on the system that we developed during our Arctic cruise this summer to do our daily weather analysis. In the first post I wrote about the way we use weather fax.

In this one I’m going to get into the details of how we request and use GRIBs to get the maximum amount of information for the minimum data size and cost, when at sea, or in remote areas with no internet.
