Hi there,
being a sailor, I am predominantly interested in the grib files coming down via the data stream.
What could be added are several weather fax maps which are available via RTTY on short wave, or long wave and also on the web pages of the weather services which create those maps.For example NOAA in the US or the UK MetOffice, or the DWD in germany. Many other weather services exist.
It would be sufficient to get only the weather maps which cover the same sea area which the respective inmarsat satellites cover.
This would be sufficient for the grib files too. Only send the information for the respective satellite and a lite bit over the edges of the reception are. The saved amount of downstream could be used to extend the time frame of the predictions to lest say 5 or 6 day. After that predictions get unreliable anyway.
Best regards.
Benjamin
