The following file formats are supported:
• grib&grib2 for waves, current, temperature, wind force and direction, pressure, swell, etc.
• additional data typhoon&ice (proprietary formats of providers)
Local area forecasts are 5-7 days only. The 9 days forecasts are for ocean areas
IMPORTANT: MARIS disclaims responsibility for grib&grib2 files supplied by the non-
recommended providers if these data is not displayed correctly.
A weather file includes several layers with data of defined period. For instance 5 days
forecasts for wind and pressure situations, with weather data every 12 hours.
The ECDIS interpolates the data in time and position making possible to display continuously
over a period of time and a geographical area all data included in the file.
