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
Yahoo group to discuss EUMETCast data products.
What data does it read?
- DWDSAT GRIB data available from the EUMETCast system (as used for
Meteosat-8 reception). Please note that DWDSAT is a separately paid-for
service from DWD.

- 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)
- Pre-production Northern hemisphere sea-ice over FTP (ICE_CONC_NH)
- Pre-production 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)
