[Release] Grb2fmap - GRIB to BMS Converter
-
AHHH! Damn how did I miss that. lol
THANKS!
-
By default the GRIB downloads are compressed. You have to unzip (or whatever compression it uses) to get the files out of the compressed archive.
-
Just for those who didn’t notice, v0.5d is up with various small fixes for the issues that were raised over the week, with especial mention to improved interpolation of the weather type in the first few hours generated. Also, for those wanting to match the GRIB forecast times with the BMS time, this is now output to the log window too.
I am also waiting for the answer from the zyGrib developer to the matter of allowing us to use his GRIB data server from within the tool. If it is positive you can expect that option in the future. That should make a little bit more straightforward the process of converting the weather (and most likely allow automatically matching the timezone for those who want that). If not, unless some more issues pop up, this should be final for a long time.

I’ve been using these coords for Balkans Theater. It may not be exact but it seems to work.
Min N 37 Max N 46
Min E 11 Max E 20 -

Min E 11 Max E 20I also found it to work nicely if the longitude and latitude differ 9°!
Enables me to use the local weather here! -
best way to judge the coordinates is to match winds and tempertures to the coastline. when looking in the Weather commander.
as grb2fmap will always convert the area it needs. it’s just a matter of matching if to the theater

GREAT tool Ahmed! THANKS! Well done!
Here’s a step by step Video tutorial for setting the weather using your tool

Great! Thank You very much Nikos.

The program stop.Any one have this problem.

I’m not seeing any inclement weather generated when I convert the GRIB to FMAP. The Zygrib data is showing precipitation but this is simply converting to poor weather for the FMAPS. Presumably there is some sort of precipitation value below which weather is poor and above which it’s inclement and I just haven’t downloaded any weather data to trigger inclement weather yet?
-
Yes, you need to satisfy both the minimum cloud cover and the minimum precipitation rate criteria. You can change those in the UI. Default values are 62.5% (5/8 BKN cloud) and 2mm/hr (‘moderate’ rainfall). You can lower them as you wish to move the bias towards more inclement weather (for Ex. try 0.01 precipitation rate as the other extreme).

Thank you

Thanks for your work!!

Great tool. Thanks a bunch. I have been using the tool and works really well.
-
Captain, Thank you very much for this outstanding program!!!
Best regards! -
… Also, for those wanting to match the GRIB forecast times with the BMS time, this is now output to the log window too.
…Where is this log window?
-
It is the one that pops up when the conversion is finished.
-
Thanks for this great tool.
However, I don’t seem to understand the Initial Time setting.
Which time should I set there? The time my campaign is showing right now (Day 1, 12:52:03) or the time I downloaded in Korean time? (Downloaded at 16:45 GMT+1, so Init Time would be GMT+9 = Day 1, 00:45 ?)
