Instead of returning "malformed section" on trailing bytes or truncated
sections, attempt to return parsed results. This handles older HRRR
files (2019) that have padding bytes after the last section.
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.
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
Store surface observations (ASOS) and upper-air soundings (RAOB) alongside
QSOs for atmospheric propagation correlation. Three new tables: weather_stations,
surface_observations, and soundings with JSONB profiles and pre-computed derived
parameters (refractivity, gradients, duct detection, stability indices).
Includes IEM API client for historical data import and import script seeded
with 95 ASOS + 9 sounding stations from PropCast coverage area.
