ROTFS (aka Gulf Stream) Current GRIB Files
I've just noted that the latest beta version of SailMail (aka AirMail)
supports ROTFS GRIB files. These provide predictions for the Gulf Stream and other currents showing the direction, rate and temperature for up to 72 hours in advance. I don't quite understand their current speed predictions as they seem too low, but at least it shows the relative speed and direction. I placed a JPEG image of the GRIB display on my web site: http://www.geoffschultz.org/Temp/rotfs.jpg -- Geoff www.GeoffSchultz.org |

I assume you already know about the GRIB files for wind speed, direction and barometric pressure? I get a fresh update every day via their subscription service and find it useful for planning. |

Of course! When cruising I get daily GRIB files for my area. The ROTFS support is new. I've never seen these files before. -- Geoff www.GeoffSchultz.org |
