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.
Both extract_points and extract_grid now skip messages with missing
data sections instead of halting. Pressure product fetch is now
optional for both grid and single-point modes — if pressure data
has corrupt messages, surface-only profiles are still stored. Fixes
historical HRRR backfill failing on old data with incomplete files.
Add fetch_grid/3 for batch HRRR data retrieval across multiple lat/lon
points in a single download pass. Expand surface messages to include
wind (UGRD/VGRD), cloud cover (TCDC), and precipitation (APCP). Add
extract_grid/2 to the GRIB2 extractor for multi-point extraction from
a single GRIB binary, and add GRIB2 variable identifiers for the new
surface fields.
AWS S3 doesn't support multi-range HTTP requests. When given
Range: bytes=0-999, 2000-2999 it ignores the header and returns
the full file (200 instead of 206). Download each range separately.
S3 returns 200 with the full ~116MB file instead of 206 for some older
HRRR data. Treat this as a permanent failure instead of trying to parse
the entire file.
Eliminates the external wgrib2 C tool dependency that blocked HRRR
processing. Implements Lambert Conformal projection, simple packing
(Template 5.0), complex packing with spatial differencing (Template 5.3),
and GRIB2 section parsing — enough to extract point values from HRRR
grid data using only Elixir.
Previously retry: :transient only retried connection errors, not HTTP
429 rate limits. All clients now use a custom retry function that
handles 429, 500, 502, 503, 504 with 5 retries and jittered backoff.
HRRR provides hourly 3km-resolution atmospheric profiles, filling the
temporal gaps (12-hourly soundings) and spatial gaps (only 9 sounding
stations) in our current weather data.
- Add hrrr_profiles table and hrrr_queued flag on QSOs
- HrrrClient fetches GRIB2 data via HTTP Range requests + wgrib2
- HrrrFetchWorker derives refractivity/ducting params via SoundingParams
- QsoWeatherEnqueueWorker now also enqueues HRRR jobs
- QSO show page displays HRRR section with collapsible profile
- Dockerfile builds wgrib2 from source for production
