Visualisation on maps
GRIB (with the exception of spherical harmonics fields) can be directly visualised in Metview on a map view. In the user interface just right-click visualise on the icon to get a plot with the default settings. GRIB map plots can be further customised with the Contouring or Wind Plotting icons for scalar fields or vector fields, respectively:

Visualisation on other views
On top of the map-based visualisation we can generate vertical cross sections (see Cross Section View), zonal and meridional averages (see Average View) and Hovmoeller diagrams (see Hovmoeller View). It is also possible to extract vertical profiles (see Vertical Profile View) and time series from GRIB.
With the Thermo Data icon we can extract thermodynamic profiles from GRIB and plot them onto various thermodynamic diagrams (e.g. tephigram) uisng Thermo View.
Filtering and interpolation
The GRIB Filter icon provides the means to select a subset of fields from a GRIB file. It (and the MARS Retrieval icon) also contains some parameters, such as Grid, which allow for interpolation to a new grid.
