Replace circle markers with a canvas tile layer that renders smooth,
flowing colored regions using bilinear interpolation between grid
points. Colors interpolate between tiers for gradients. ~95k grid
points at 0.125 degree resolution with wgrib2 extraction.
Add Wgrib2 module that shells out to wgrib2 binary for fast GRIB2
grid extraction using -lola (nearest-neighbor to regular lat-lon grid).
Falls back to pure-Elixir decoder if wgrib2 is not installed.
Also: parallel GRIB2 range downloads, merge adjacent byte ranges,
skip corrupt messages instead of failing, pressure fetch is optional.
95k points at 0.125 degree resolution caused the GRIB2 extraction to
take too long. 0.5 degree (~55 km) resolution gives 6k points which
completes in under a minute. Can increase resolution later once the
extraction is optimized.
Define 0.125-degree CONUS grid (25-50N, 125-66W) for propagation
scoring and create propagation_scores table with composite unique
index on lat/lon/valid_time/band_mhz for upsert support.
Single source of truth for all scoring parameters: weights, thresholds,
seasonal tables, and per-band coefficients for 8 microwave bands
(10G through 241G). Includes ITU-R P.838-3 rain attenuation
coefficients, humidity effects, refractivity scoring thresholds,
and sunrise/tier definitions.
