Description:



A decade’s worth of experience developing GRIB analysis tools for circumnavigators, expeditions and explorers is crafted into the most powerful yet easy-to-use iPad GRIB tool available for the everyday enthusiast.



OCENS GRIB Explorer Plus melds GRIB weather and ocean data into sensational images carrying unparalleled insights into the environment around you. GRIB data is overlaid on fantastic super resolution earth imagery for any location in the world. Fingertip response reveals high accuracy latitude/longitude position, bearing and range from your Home Location to the point under study and, of course, the weather or ocean parameter value(s) at the subject point.



GRIB Explorer Plus also adds Satellite Mode to conventional Wi-Fi IP retrieval. Satellite Mode enables connectivity from Plus through Iridium, Inmarsat and Globalstar satellite phones and the OCENS Everon data services. Obtain the highest quality weather and ocean data FOR anywhere on Earth FROM anywhere on Earth!



One-of-a-Kind Tools



GRIB Explorer’s Trip Planner displays the weather along a route through time. Draw a desired trip on the GRIB Explorer GRIB and use Trip Planner to search for the best combination of weather conditions for your trip or to adjust departure dates or the whole route entirely because of unacceptable forecast weather or ocean conditions that are revealed only with the very special tool.



Route Finder narrows your analysis to a single frame of data. Draw a route or transect across any portion of the GRIB frame in front of you. Route Finder responds by casting a 2D chart to show the changes in parameter value(s) along that line. Use it to changes which are stunningly obvious in Route Finder’s 2D graph that are less so across the whole field of the GRIB frame. Move your finger into the graph. The Route Finder chart displays the actual values of each parameter in the graph at that point AND relates them to their position on the transect by plotting a pointer on that transect. The pointer moves along the line as you move your finger within the Route Finder graph.



Time Profile tips the Route Finder on end and pulls insights from your GRIB data that are generally not easy to see without a great deal of effort and documentation. Instead of staring at a particular spot as you page through each frame of your GRIB, simply launch Time Profile and point to that spot on the current frame. Time Profile displays a chart of weather or ocean conditions at that point through all frames of the GRIB. Acquire a multi-frame, multi-day GRIB, drop your finger pointer on a location and see a graph of precipitation totals at that point for each frame. Or identify wind shifts. Move your pointer around the screen and the Time Profile graph dynamically adjusts itself to your target and its underlying weather variables.





Compatibility



GRIB Explorer Plus is compatible with the OCENS Everon data service. Everon servers provide on-demand delivery of weather, ocean and fishing data from multiple GRIB models for any location on land or sea. Met data available from Everon includes wind direction and speed, surface pressure, precipitation, cloud cover, 500 mb height, lifted index and CAPE. Ocean data available from Everon includes wave height, direction and period, sea temperature, sea surface height, ocean currents, salinity and mixed layer depth. GRIB Explorer users working with Everon box the area of the world for which they are interested in obtaining data and specify the 1 through 7 day forecast, and the specific model or models they want to use as their source of data. GRIB Explorer Download accesses the Everon server, then retrieves, unpacks, processes, maps and displays the GRIB data in just seconds.
