Redbook Graphics are operational forecast products transmitted on the NWSTG channel of NOAAport. Redbook binary files contain georeferenced drawing commands and can be mapped and reprojected into any desired display area, and easily overlaid on any GEMPAK data set.
In addition to displaying in both gpmap and nmap2, Redbook products can be decoded with the dcredbook program:
These three pattern actions are included in the GEMPAK LDM template.
