- SwpcClient: unparseable time_tag rows drop silently, integer / string
numerics both cast, already-decoded list bodies (Req auto-decode) are
accepted, non-JSON-array bodies return {:error, :not_a_list}, X-ray
rows whose energy isn't the long wavelength are filtered, and the
misspelled-upstream electron_contaminaton key flags
electron_contaminated.
- UwyoSoundingClient: every month abbreviation routes to its correct
number, bogus month tokens fall through to an empty result, and
short-of-fixed-width lines are skipped without raising.
- Grid.wgrib2_grid_spec/0: lon/lat_start anchor to the SW corner,
steps match Grid.step/0, cell counts span CONUS inclusive, and the
spec's cell product equals length(Grid.conus_points/0).
- PollWorker: empty-link list is a no-op, and poll_fn receives host /
community / radio_type straight from the link row.
- Contact submission_changeset: antenna heights are bounded to
[0, 1000] ft, whitespace-only mode normalises without firing an
invalid-mode error, plus a pair of StreamData properties — every
sanctioned band validates and every out-of-list band string is
rejected.
Suite: 2,380 tests + 148 properties (was 2,370 + 146); coverage
70.38% → 71.08% total; credo strict clean.
Two unrelated production warnings from the same log window:
WeatherFetchWorker raised Postgrex 21000 cardinality_violation on
ASOS upserts when IEM returned two METAR records for the same
timestamp (routine + special at the same minute). Dedupe by
(station_id, observed_at) in upsert_surface_observations, keeping
the last occurrence since IEM's ordering is chronological.
SwpcClient.fetch_xrays warned with the full truncated response
body (~650 KB of GOES X-ray JSON) dumped into the log aggregator
whenever SWPC's CDN cut the response mid-stream. Intercept
Jason.DecodeError in fetch_and_parse and format it short: keep
the byte position and an 80-char preview, drop the rest.
Adds the second ionospheric data source layer. Polls NOAA SWPC's free
public JSON services every 5 minutes for three products:
* Planetary K-index (1-min cadence) → geomagnetic_observations
* 10.7 cm solar flux (hourly) → solar_flux_observations
* GOES X-ray flux (1-min, 0.1-0.8nm long-wave band only) →
solar_xray_observations
All three products feed HF / Es scoring inputs that the propagation
engine will start using in a follow-up commit:
* Kp drives HF absorption and Es damping (memory notes Kp is inversely
correlated with tropo/Es stability).
* F10.7 is the SSN proxy for ITU-R P.533 HF MUF prediction.
* GOES X-ray long-wave flux is the short-wave fade (SWF) / D-layer
absorption proxy — a C-class flare starts attenuating HF within
seconds of the X-ray peak.
New context `Microwaveprop.SpaceWeather` exposes `upsert_*/1` and
`latest_*/0` per product; `SpaceWeatherFetchWorker` pulls all three
independently so one endpoint's outage doesn't block the others.
Fixtures captured from live SWPC endpoints on 2026-04-15 for the
parser tests.
Not yet wired into scoring — that's a separate commit.
