Comprehensive Weather/ Oceanographic
reporting
RayTech offers you the capability to download and display the latest
weather and ocean conditions, and then superimpose this information
upon your charts in several layers. Weather and oceanographic charts (in
GRIB format) can be downloaded directly from the Internet or requested
via e-mail. These files can be animated to show predicted weather condi-
tions over a specified period of time. Typical weather files contain
information covering a period of several days, giving you a comprehensive
presentation of atmospheric and marine conditions.
