IEM's ASOS CSV endpoint accepts multiple station= params in a single
request. Prior code enqueued one WeatherFetchWorker job per nearby
station per QSO endpoint — N jobs × 1 station each — which paid the
IemRateLimiter's 1500ms gap and the IEM 429-retry tail N times per
contact.
Changes:
- IemClient.asos_url/3 accepts a list of station codes.
- IemClient.fetch_asos_batch/3 fetches N stations in one call and
returns rows grouped by station_code (with absent codes filled as
empty lists so callers can stub them).
- parse_asos_csv/1 now exposes the station_code column it was
previously discarding.
- WeatherFetchWorker gains an "asos_batch" fetch_type clause that
unpacks rows per (station_id, station_code), upserting or stubbing
each. The single-station "asos" clause stays for already-queued
retryable jobs.
- ContactWeatherEnqueueWorker.build_asos_jobs/3 now emits one batch
job per (lat, lon, 4h window) covering every uncovered nearby
station (sorted for deterministic unique-args).
Expected effect on backfill: ~10-20x fewer IEM requests per contact
enrichment cycle, matching drop in 429 retry traffic.
Three bugs were letting mechanism/terrain/radar contacts ping-pong
between :complete and :queued on every backfill cron:
1. enqueue_for_contact/2 now filters out types that are already
:complete on the contact before building jobs. Previously
mark_status!/3 demoted every non-empty jobs_by_type entry back to
:queued, overwriting the :complete that workers had just set.
2. reconcile_stale_queued/1 now also flips mechanism_status and
radar_status back to :complete when the companion data
(propagation_mechanism / contact_common_volume_radar) already
exists. Drains the existing ~14k row backlog on the first post-
deploy tick.
3. IemClient.parse_iemre_json/1 accepts "" and nil so a 200-with-
empty-body IEMRE response doesn't FunctionClauseError the worker
through four retry attempts.
- Add precip_1h_in and wx_codes fields to ASOS surface observations
- Add IEMRE reanalysis schema for radar-derived hourly precipitation
- Add IemreFetchWorker with exponential backoff and idempotency
- Integrate IEMRE enqueue into cron weather backfill pipeline
- All existing QSOs marked iemre_queued=false for automatic backfill
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.
