Instructions Officielles :
This grib robot generates wwave3 GRIB files if you request
a custom region or a static region which does not contain
an interior body of water. If you request a static region
which contains an interior body of water (such as the
Mediterranean) you will receive an AVN GRIB file. Please
visit our web site for more information.
*** Instructions ***
Specifying the key only will result in one mail with a 24 hour forecast.
For Example
Atlantic
Will return an e-mail with a grib file containing a 24 hour forecast.
Alternately you can specify the time of the forecast by entering the time
after the key on the subject line. Valid times are 6 to 126 hours in
increments of 6 hours. i.e. 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 are all valid times.
For example, entering
Atlantic 24 48 72
will result in 3 e-mails each containing a separate forecast
for the Atlantic region. Note that on average each e-mail
will be between 3 and 5 Kb in size.
If you prefer to do weather animation then you can specify
that the robot send you 1day, 2day, 3day, 4day, or 5day worth of
weather sampled at 6 hour intervals.
For example, entering
Atlantic 3day
will return one compressed grib file between 30-40K that
contains 3 days worth of forecasts on 6 hour intervals.
*** a Note on size ***
The more data you request the more efficient the compression
will be. For example, entering
Caribbean 24 48 72
will result in 3 grib files about 1.5-2K each for a total
of around 6K. Entering
Caribbean 3day
results in 12 forecasts in one file that is 11K.
*** Requesting gribs by custom regions ****
It is possible to request custom regions by placing
the center Lat:Lon coordinates where the "key" would
normally go. The syntax for custom regions is
LAT[NS]:LON[EW]:RANGE [24 48 .. | 1day | 2day ...]
The optional RANGE is in nautical miles. A range of 1200 miles
is assumed if none is specified. So entering the following
in the subject line
18N:67W:600 3day
would return a 3day forecast grib that was 600x600 miles centered
at 18N and 67W.
Entering
55S:70W 24 48 72
yields 3 gribs 1200 miles on the side centered at 55S 70W i.e. the
Drake passage.
****** Requesting gribs on an automatic schedule ****
Entering a number followed by the word "times" tells the grib
robot to send you the request every day at 5AM EST for the number
of days entered. For example entereging the following on the Subject line
7times Caribbean 3day
will cause the grib robot to send you the Caribbean 3day forecast
every day for 7 days. "7times" must be entered as the first command
on the Subject line. Entering "Caribbean 7times 3day" is incorrect.
To cancel a request simply send an e-mail to the grib robot with
the word cancel on the subject line.
NOTE: There are no spaces between the 7 and times. Also, times
and cancel are in lower case.
********
Gribs are compressed in bzip2 format and
are about 10Kb in size per day for large regions and
about 4K per day for the Caribbean. MaxSea and Windplot users can display
these gribs directly. RayChart users will need a special
bunzipper to unpack these files. Two popular programs are:
WinRAR v3.00 922K www.rarlab.com
EF Commander v3.3 1.4Mb www.bhs.com
They are both free.
