How to Combine Grib Files

It is not too often we have to do this. Some grib viewers and nav programs that show grib files will either let you select more than one at a time to show (ie OpenCPN, Expedition, and qtVlm allows for this), or they might offer custom packages of say wind and current.

In Expedition, for example, you just load grib files from any source into their grib folder and put checkmarks next to the ones you want to combine.  In OpenCPN use the file open option then select multiple files with the cmd or ctrl key, and that will combine them as it loads them.... in most cases; there are exceptions.

The free navigation and routing program qtVlm (Mac or PC), besides allowing for 1, 2 or 3 direct simultaneous loads, has a neat grib combiner utility that combines grib files with option to rename and store the combination where you choose. It is a versatile program in its own right, but this utility within it lets you create files for use in any program. 

Nobeltec and Maxsea TimeZero apps provide custom packages of grib files (wind, current, seas) intended for optimum routing, but if you want to optimize the data using other than their choice of data we have to combine the ones we want on our own, as outlined below. For typical routing calculations we need wind, current, and wave data that come from different sources.

XyGrib and  Saildocs allows for simultaneous download GFS wind data and ww3 wave data, but this is a bit out of date since the ww3 wave data is now part of GFS.

One of our favorite grib viewers, LuckGrib, does not allow for opening multiple files, so to see combined data in that program, we have to add them externally.

(Beyond these more common calls for the need to externally combine grib files, we come to the high resolution NDFD wind data.  At least for the time being, I am only aware of two ways to access this data.  Either use LuckGrib (on a Mac or iOS device) to download the wind and then export that (single) grib file to use in other programs, or get them directly from NOAA as ds.wdir.bin (wind direction) and ds.wspd.bin (wind speed) and then combine them as shown below—the .bin extension is a valid grb2 file for those nav programs that read grb2 data.  On the other hand, and the reason for the ( ) on this note is, this is a bit academic, in that, to my knowledge, Expedition, LuckGrib, and qtVlm are the only programs I know of that can display these state of the art data files. And in Expedition, you can indeed just load the speed and direction files individually into their grib folder and it will combine them and show the data.)

And there are other subtleties we face when striving for the best data for specific locations. Meteo France, for example, offers a high quality waves and wind file (similar to the US WW3), but the wind part is coded like the NDFD wind data, meaning it is expressed as two values, wind speed and wind direction. OpenCPN and several other grib viewers will not read that type of wind data. They expect the more standard format of the two components being the E-W wind speed and the N-S wind speed and then they combine these for the vector winds they display. If you load one of these French .grib2 wind and waves files into OpenCPN you see only the waves.

That was a bit too log to say "in short,"  but for optimum work we will likely have occasion to combine grib files manually, and with that said, it turns out to be an easy process, in either a Mac or a PC. The process is done in a command line statement, which may not be a familiar operation to many, so it is described here as if it had never been done before.

We use these files currents.grb, waves.grb, wind_pressure.grb from Norway Met Inst as an example. They have been renamed here. These files also illustrate other subtleties of grib file display, once we wander away from our comfortable US sources. We put these in the folder /Downloads/Norway.

Mac process

(1) in spotlight search, type Terminal, then click open the terminal app. It will look something like below, showing your computer name and home directory.

Then type: cd Downloads/Norway, and enter.... to get to the place where the files are located.

Then type: cat wind_pressure.grb waves.grb currents.grb >skaggerak080417.grb.  We make up the final file name ourselves. This one has the place and date. Can't put the time on this one, as these files do not cover the same time period, which is an issue we will have to deal with.

It won't say anything unless an error was made, but this new file should show up in Downloads\Norway and it should be about the size of the other three combined.

Now in principle we are ready to test our new combined file, which now includes wind, pressure, current, and waves. Current data typically has set, drift, and sea water temp; waves can have numerous parameters, which is more a topic for another post.

Above is combined file in OpenCPN. It will take some trials to figure best display choices with multiple parameters. This one is not optimized. For routing it does not matter what the picture looks like. Note that pressure does not show up, and this can be understood. I will cover that in the video or different article. Likewise, a video is easier to illustrate the timing issues, as these forecasts are not all for consistent times. A routing program, however, can interpolate these between forecasts as needed.

Below is the same file viewed in LuckGrib, using only arrows for display. Luckgrib has many display options for every parameter—best of any program—so we can do much better as needed.

Below we shut off all parameters but current for a better picture of what is taking place in this bay.

Note that as powerful as LuckGrib is, it will not display more than one grib file at a time, so this process is needed when we want to see, say, wind and current overlaid. OpenCPN, will indeed let us combine the three files we just did manually, so in this example our special process was not needed. We would get the same display by just selecting multiple files at the Open File dialog. 

Now we proceed to the process of combining grib files in a PC.

PC process

This time we put the Norway folder on the PC desktop. It does not matter where these are, but my PC is a virtual machine in a Mac, and I share the Mac Downloads folder which confuses this example, so we use this new location. In general, it is best to put the folder you are working on close to the root, so it is easier to get into it.

(1) In the main windows search box, bottom left, type CMD, enter.  This will find an app called Command Prompt.  Click that to open. It will look like below.

This is the PC counterpart to the Mac Terminal, and we start in the user's home directory.

(2) Type CD Desktop\Norway and enter. (Note the slashes in Mac and PC are opposite.)

(3) Then type: type currents.grb wind_pressure.grb waves.grb > skaggerat080417.grb and press enter, and you will get this, which means it worked.

Then if you check the Norway folder you will see your new file is there.

For both the PC and the Mac there are various short cuts and other commands that help with this if you care to learn more about this.  For example, in Mac or PC instead of listing the files to add, you can name them in the base folder with some initial ID, ie add z1 in front of every file name. Then the command cat z1* >z1.grb  or type z1* >z1.grb will do the job. Thus you can organize the files ahead of time with chosen prefixes.

Alternatively, you can download qtVlm and use it for a grib combiner!  Read about a popular use of this program.

The mentioned issue with the pressure from these Norwegian data is the reference level. Most grib files meant for maritime application use pressure at MSL (pressure@0-MSL or PRMSL@0-MSL), which is what we see on weather maps. The Norwegian files use a pressure above ground level (Press@0-HTGW). LuckGrib and Expedition take this in stride and show it, though we must be careful to remember that the isobars on land are relative the ground, not MSL. On the water it does not really matter, but you will see kinks in these as the isobars climb up the hills on land and not agree with the weather maps on land.

OpenCPN just ignores these pressure data and opens the files normally otherwise. Just with no pressure to see. The same with qtVlm. XyGrib will not open the files at all if they cannot identify all the the parameters, so you cannot use the program with that type of data.  When studying the effects of terrain on wind, the ground referenced isobars can be interesting to look at. The UW WRF model uses this, so we see the actual station pressure a person living on a hill would see.  Still a bit confusing for maritime work with a weather map in hand.

Here is a short video on how to adjust LuckGrib to create a draw style of this new pressure relative to ground level, which is not what we normally want in marine applications.

When this won't work

There are some limitations to the process. The normal goal is to add parameters from different models to a given region and time frame. If we wanted to combine several adjacent regions covering the same time and same parameters we would find that this will not work in many viewers. Most viewer software would be conflicted on various stages of the display if it had, for example, wind speed at the same time in two different locations in the same data file. 

Expedition,  qtVlm, and OpenCPN can do this, however, as they allow for multiple files to be opened without having to combine them into a single file, which is where this problem occurs.

Simulate Instrument Data with OpenCPN's NMEA Converter Plugin

Our main goal was to investigate how various navigation programs treat the effect of leeway on true wind angle (TWA) referenced to the boat's track through the water. This is a subtle computation that not many ECS perform. OpenCPN's Tactics plugin does a correction for this, as do premier racing programs like Expedition. This correction can be a notable influence on a proper comparison of sailing performance with polar diagrams as well as on accurate optimum routing. We come back to this topic in another post; for now we just show one way to simulate the instrument signals, which is easy to reproduce for individual study.

There are other ways to do this. Our own enav simulator generates the proper NMEA sentences within any user selected ground wind and current, for example, and there are programs that will play back a list of NMEA sentences, but treating the checksums properly can be an issue in some navigation programs when using a list. Once you have a source of the sentences you want, you can apply them to any program for testing and learning how they make specific corrections.

The method described here uses the OpenCPN plugin called NMEA Converter. This plugin was not intended for this application, but with a couple extra steps it does it nicely. It was actually designed to read in one sentence and then create another one by redefining the fields in it. The topic of this post is how to use that plugin for an extension of that idea to create the needed sentences to test TWA computations. 

Although leeway can in principle be measured, it remains an elusive number. The typical solution is to approximate the leeway from the measured Heel angle, which can be measured accurately. Leeway = K*Heel/BSP^2, where K is a constant between 9 and 13, depending on the boat. (BSP = boat speed, STW in OpenCPN). With this approximation (using K=12.4), a vessel moving at 5.7 kts, with a heel of 23º will slip downwind by 8.8º. Then we can ask our navigation program to take this into account when figuring True wind, relative to the centerline of the boat, and Ground Wind, relative to the fixed earth. The latter is what we care about for weather work, in which case it is called the "true wind," but performance sailors have used the term "true wind" for many decades as being relative to the water, and it not worth arguing the terminology.

(Looking ahead, however, the main issue is not just correcting for the boat track vs boat heading, but rather correcting the measured apparent wind angle (AWA) and apparent wind speed (AWS) reported by the instruments for the effect of the heel of instruments relative to vertical. In other words, if you have your boat side tied to the end of the dock and read AWS and AWA, and then use a halyard to pull the boat over 20º or so, how much does AWA and AWS change. There are geometrical computations of this effect, which can be applied within the wind instruments themselves (high end instruments) or by the navigation program itself for more common instruments that do not make this correction.)

Procedure

Step (1). Install the PC version of the NMEA Converter plugin to OpenCPN. This works in the same way as all of their plugins—it seems there is not a Mac version. The operation of the plugin, however, is a bit special, as there is no on-screen icon as with other plugins. 

Step (2). From the plugin link in the settings (wrench icon), first enable the NMEA Converter (button far right, sometimes hidden by horizontal scroll), then under preferences, choose New, and type in the sentence you want to export. 

Step (3). In this case we put the heel (called roll) in an XDR sentence, used for general sensor input. The official sentence for heel-roll is HRM, which allows for peak values, period, and other specs, but not many programs read this one, so the XDR is safer.  It is defined as: 

$--XDR,A,x.x,D,c—c, ..... *hh

The first two letters after the $ do not matter. We use the recommended II for Integrated Instrumentation. 

A means the following value is an angle

+x.x roll to right (port tack)

-x.x roll to left (starboard tack) 

D means angle is in degrees

C-C is sensor name, Roll. 

*hh is the check sum.

Thus we have this sentence for heel:  $IIXDR,A,23.0,D,ROLL*49

This includes the correct checksum, but we do not need to know that for the simulation. The plugin will add the correct one when we change the heel value. If needed, here is a place to check the checksum.

We can leave the top box unchecked as we are not importing data. Choose send every second, which is fine for testing. In practice heel is transmitted at a higher rate than that. Heel changes at each wave.

The sentence you want to transmit is typed over the $dummy format line, as indicated without a checksum, then press OK. Note the needed OK and Cancel buttons are typically hidden from view, so you have to manually expand that window with the tab marked by red circle in the picture above. 

We can check that the sentence has been accepted two ways. First, heel will show up in the OpenCPN Tactics dashboard, or we can use the Show NMEA Debug Window in the Connections link in Setup, as shown below. (Leeway will not show up till we have other data coming in.)

Since you might be using the Show NMEA Debug Window from the Connections page a lot in this exercise, note that it requires an uncheck and then check again after you close it, and it typically comes up behind the connections page, but can then be moved—we have to learn how our friends behave and adapt to them for a happy life.

Figure 2

Notice that our artificial sentence is there and it is green, meaning accepted, but we need to turn it blue, meaning it is being sent out so we can use it in other programs. 

In short, we are next going beyond just using this in OpenCPN, that is already working, but we want to test other programs as well. In short we are using OpenCPN as a tool to generate the signals for other applications. 

Step. (4) To do this, we need to set up a network to export the sentence. From Setup wrench, choose Connections to get the screen below.

Figure 3.

Add a new network connection. In this one we use the localhost 127.0.0.1; the port number does not matter; we used 44444. Choose UDP, and in the bottom line type XDR, and then apply, and check the NMEA Debug Window again and you should see the following.

In the Transmit sentences, click ... on the right, and find or add as needed XDR. Then apply and check the Debug window.

Figure 4.

The sentences are blue, meaning they are being exported to the localhost. 

To import these to Expedition, for example, we set up a new network there for this input. This usually calls for adding a new network, then configuring it as seen below.

Figure 5

Again, two ways to check this. The heel should show up in a number box, and when we set up the Exp Calculations the leeway will show as well. We can also check the Raw Data view shown above as an insert, which is perfectly uninteresting, as hoped.
______

So far so good. But to make this more general and not have be on the water or using a full simulator, we can go back to the NMEA Converter and generate all the sentences we need. Note, too, that if you are running the Tactics plug in while underway you do not need this operation, because it lets you input heel values manually based on TWS and TWA. (I will add another note on that useful plugin later on.)  Still, however, if you want to make static tests of any program to see how they treat TWA corrections, we need to generate all required sentences so we can vary them and watch the response.

Here are the minimum sentences we need:

$GPRMC,065304.452,A,2536.5472,N,7410.0328,W,5.70,31.2,230717,,,D

$GPVHW,40.0,T,,M,5.7,N,,K

$WIVWR,29.3,R,15.6,N,7.9,M,29,K

$IIXDR,A,23.0,D,ROLL

The top line gives a time and position (we don't care about) then SOG, COG, and a date we don't care about. Next we have a HDG of 40.0 True, and a BSP of 5.7. We can do all this study later in the presence of current, but for now we consider no current and just leeway, which is (in an idealized setting) SOG = BSP and COG = HDG ± leeway. 

The above sentences will generate apparent wind angle (AWA) of 29.3º on the Right side of the boat, with an apparent wind speed (AWS) of 15.6 kts. The other numbers are just different speed units. And finally we have the heel described above.

These are shown without the checksums, because the plugin will generate them for us, which is very handy once we start changing the values—final sentences will end with *hh, the checksum.

So back to NMEA Converter. As far as I can tell, this plugin only lets us generate two sentences. You can keep adding them, but it only accepts the last two you put in. We have to go into the back door (opencpn.ini) and ask this plugin to do more. It is very nicely programmed so we can do that. I am not sure if the up-front limit was intentional, or a bug, or maybe I am not doing it properly. Someone will let us know, and then this can be rewritten. The primary intention of the plugin does not need more than two, so this is no surprise.

In any event, once we have successfully added and exported one sentence, it is easy to add more, which in turn gives an easy way to change all the variables.  

Step (5). Close OpenCPN, then find the ini file at C:\ProgramData\opencpn\opencpn.ini.  Then duplicate the file, just in case, so you have a back up. Open it in Notepad and scroll down to the NMEAConverter section, as seen below, starting with the blue lines.

The first red 4 will be 2 (change to 4) and you will see below that just the two that you tried. Then duplicate and insert the two object entries (red) and name them 3 and 4, and insert the four sentences we need as shown.  Then save and close the ini file. Then open OpenCPN and these sentences will all show up as well as being exported to any other program you have set up to receive UDP network connections.

In Win 10, once you have accessed a file, it stays in a recent list, so it is easy to go back and change the variables. If you want an AWA of 33.0 just change the 29.3 to 33.0 and save. Instantly all the running programs will show a new AWA and resulting TWA computations.

Below is the input to OpenCPN using these data alone. If the new ones are not blue, go  back to the Connections pages and add these sentences to be transmitted: RMC,XDR,VWR,VHW

Important note: This input will stay in place and come back after closing and opening OpenCPN. So if you want to shut it off, disable the plugin, and then close and reopen OpenCPN. If you enable the plugin again, the signals come back. However... is seems when doing this that Tactics does not compute TW when we reinitialize the NMEA Converter. Close OpenCPN, then re-open, and all works fine. Recall we are using this for purposes well outside any intention, so not to be surprised by special behavior we have to work around. 

The image below shows how these data import to Expedition, or any other echart program that accepts network connections.

Remember when using other programs, you must keep OpenCPN running, as it is the workhorse generating all the simulated signals.

Now we are ready to start testing various features of the wind displays in Tactics plugin and other programs. There are many interesting things to learn with this simulation in place, not just in OpenCPN but in other programs as well.  More on that in a forthcoming post.

I will add a video illustration of the above procedure as soon as possible.

Zone Forecasts by Email

The text forecasts by zone from NWS are stored (at least for now) as follows:

• Coastal (out 60 miles) — graphic index
• http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/forecasts/marine/coastal — data files

• Offshore (60 to 250 miles)  — graphic index
• http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/forecasts/marine/offshore — data files

• High seas (>250 miles) — graphic index
• http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/forecasts/marine/high_seas — data files

• Great Lakes (< 5mi, sample Lake Michigan) — graphic index
• http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/dataforecasts/marine/near_shore — data files

• Great Lakes (>5 mi, sample Lake Michigan) — graphic index
• http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/forecasts/marine/great_lakes — data files

There are two popular ways to get these forecasts by email:

(1) NOAA's  FTPmail service
(2) Query to saildocs.com. 

Saildocs is easier if they have the file you care about, but they do not include all zones. For either method, you need to know the zone name of the region you want. Below is a sample of the forecast zones around the south tip of Florida. 

Fig 1. Offshore Zones

Fig 2. Coastal zones

Fig.3 Coastal zones, in detail.

These are copies of the defining pictures online, which are difficult to read.... we really do miss the Marine Weather Services Charts that showed all these clearly.  Coastal waters just off Miami is in zone AMZ651.

Note that even though the zones are given in the NOAA images in uppercase, all file names we ask for must be in all lower case.

The high seas zones are discussed in an earlier post. These are each conveniently obtained from saildocs as noted there.

If you can identify a zone by local name, then there is a list of lists of the zone names online below, with links to the data. For convenience, we have our own list the file names at the end of this note. This list can be searched and we are in the process of organizing it by region.

• ATLANTIC
  Marine text forecasts subdivided by zone for the U.S. East Coast (Western Atlantic) and Caribbean including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
• 
  
• PACIFIC
  Marine text forecasts subdivided by zone for the U.S. West Coast (Eastern Pacific).
• 
  
• GULF of MEXICO
  Marine text forecasts subdivided by zone for the Gulf of Mexico.
• 
  
• GREAT LAKES
  Marine text forecasts subdivided by zone for the Great Lakes and connecting rivers.
• 
  
• ALASKA
  Marine text forecasts subdivided by zone for Alaska.
• 
  
• PACIFIC ISLANDS
• Marine text forecasts subdivided by zone for Pacific Islands.

Coastal and offshore regions have a 2-letter subdirectory: xx:
Checking the list of filenames at the end of this note, we see that most have the form xxz###.txt, such as for Miami amz654.txt.  

The files we want are listed at the NOAA website with this directory structure

http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/forecasts/marine/coastal/xx/filename.txt

Type:  coastal, offshore, high_seas, great_lakes, near_shore (Great lakes)

Pacific coast                    pz

Gulf of Mexico                 gm

Atlantic coast <36N         am

Atlantic Coast >36N         an

Hawaii                            ph

Alaska                             pk

Method (1). If saildocs has this file, you can request it by just sending the message 
" send amz654" to query@saildocs.com.  The answer is they have this one. You can try it here. The subject line does not matter, but you might copy there what you are asking for to help fine the request for resubmitting.

Method (2). Using the official NOAA FTPmail is more hands-on. We reach the right root folder by sending an email to nws.ftpMail.ops@noaa.gov, then we open the root and change to the right directory, which is different for different types (see above), and then we ask for one or more files. Each statement on a separate line, all capitalization matters. It is best as plain text mail with nothing else in the mail, and definitely nothing above these lines. Here is a sample.

open
cd data/forecasts/marine/coastal/am
get amz651.txt
get amz671.txt
quit

You can also practice this one here.  

FTPmail and saildocs work the same for simultaneous requests. You can ask for more than one product, but they will each return as separate emails.  There is no directory structure issues with saildocs, you can ask for offshore and coastal at the same time. with FTPmail you must switch to a new directory for differnt types of data, so it is just as easy to send new mails as to negotiate the remote directory changes in one mail.

A couple operational differences with saildocs: If you send a wrong query to saildocs, they will tell you it was not recognized. FTPmail will not. You just don't hear back. Also it tends to take a bit longer.

The main reference for the FTPmail system is a long interactive appendix in the back of an unrelated reference manual, which has changed content over the years, but retains the same filename rfax.pdf.

Our list of the forecast files is below. We are slowly organizing this and cleaning it up. Note that the forecast discussions are in different subdirectories as are other special products as well.  

This is an important service to know and master. There is some crucial data available with it, especially related to tropical storm forecasting, that is not available from other sources. In practice, if we find something we want, we first check to see if saildocs has it, and if so, use it, else we rely on this primary government service. In more than one place NOAA states that any of their text or graphic products is available by FTPmail. Later we show how to get latest observations. We have earlier notes on how to get graphic weather maps by FTPmail and saildocs.

For completeness, there is a Method (3) if you are online. Namely look up the file name you want, and then just put that into a search engine, and you will get the latest report directly on the screen.

Note that the filenames in whole hundreds, such as amz500,txt or amz600.txt will be synopses of the weather, not actual forecasts.

Other file options

The main zone forecasts are covered in the xx zone regions as outline above. There are other text forecast files in the subdirectory /data/raw. These are compilations of several zones combined into larger regions of several zones.  For example  



Miami, FL                             fzus52.kmfl.cwf.mfl.txt 


Key West, FL                        fzus52.kkey.cwf.key.txt 

These are found in /data/raw/fz/


I am not sure what the first part of the filename means, but the kmfl and kkey terms identify airports. Here is a list of all metars. The cwf stands for coastal weather forecast followed by last 3 letters of the airport id. Download the KMFL forecast and you see that it is called “Coastal forecast for south Florida,” and it is just the combination of AMZ600 (the synopsis), AMZ650 + AMZ670 (0-20 nmi+ 20-60nmi), AMZ651 + AMZ671, AMZ630, GMZ656+657 (wrapping around into the Gulf), GMZ676, and AMZ610 (Lake Oceechobee).

You can get most of these combined forecasts from saildocs by requesting just the first part of the file name, namely:  fzus52.kmfl and/or fzus52.kkey, etc
