WMO awarded multi-million EUR contract to GRAW
After detailed evaluation of all tenders, WMO finally awarded the contract for the replacement of all 15 Upper Air Sounding Stations of the Mexican Metservice including consumables for multiple years to GRAW.
GRAW Among the Top 3 Manufacturers of Radiosondes
Between July 13 and August 1, 2010 the 8th WMO High Quality Radiosonde Intercomparison was held in Yangjiang, China.
GRAWMET Software
GRAWMET is the meteorological software system for all GRAW-groundstations based on Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7. The main functions of GRAWMET are the initialisation of the radiosonde for launch and the evaluation and display of radiosonde data during the ascent.
The system generates WMO and STANAG weather messages as well as various graphical and tabulated evaluations. The software uses the common windows style graphical user interface (GUI) making it easy to work with. Data from the radiosonde is received by the groundstation for further processing by GRAWMET.
Automatic Creation of Weather Messages
The program computes and automatically generates standardised current weather messages upon reaching the specific altitude limit. Optionally, the user can change the altitude limits. Provisional computation of weather messages before the set altitude limits are reached is also possible. For greater clarity, all messages computed are presented in the status tree.
Generated Messages (Extract)
- WMO weather messages: PILOT, TEMP, CLIMAT, BUFR, CREX
- Reports according to FM35 TEMP, FM36 TEMP SHIP or FM38 TEMP MOBIL can be coded optionally
- Other messages are available on request
These weather messages are displayed on the screen in tabulated form and can be filed for future reference. During the ascent, all data of the weather message can be viewed by scrolling. The message headings and body of the message can be later edited in order to supplement messages, if incomplete.
Weather Indices
GRAWMET creates the following weather indices automatically: LFC, LCL, CCL, Showalter Index, CAPE, CINH, EL-Equilibrium Level, K-Index, Total Index, KO Index.
Graphic Data Processing
Various parameters can be displayed and printed in the form of different graphical presentations: Thermodynamic Diagram, Tephigram, T-Log (P) Diagram, Emagram, Hodograph, Altitude Diagram, Refractive Index, etc.
Multiple Languages
The system is designed as a multiple language system. Apart from the main languages (English, German, French, Spanish), several other languages are available. Please contact us!
Google-Earth Support
The flight-path of the radiosonde can also be monitored by Google-Earth.
