SmartMet allows you to download and view detailed weather reports and forecasts on your PC. Forecasts can be exported as GRIB files for inclusion in other products such as chart plotters, and if you have your own preferred source of forecasts you can import your own GRIB files.
You select the area and time window that you want the forecast for, and it is downloaded from the server using your internet connection. You can then paint your own weather map, deciding what data is to be displayed and how it is to appear.
SmartMet uses the Midas Weather service to provide weather data. Data currently available is as follows:
- GFS standard resolution 5 day weather forecasts of pressure, wind, cloud, and air and surface temperature - 0.5 degree resolution, 3 hour time steps
- WW3 standard resolution 5 day oceanographic forecasts of waves - 1 x 1.25 degree resolution, 3 hour time steps
- SYNOP current weather reports from weather buoys, ships, oil rigs and land based weather stations
- Quickscat surface wind speed and direction over the sea, measured by satellite
- Meteosat 8 satellite images
The product is sold on a 12 month subscription basis, starting on the date you first use the software.
System requirements: Windows XP or Vista. Requires an internet connection.
