Show on /weather where the detected duct geometry traps each microwave
band. Overview mode bins cells by their lowest trapped frequency
(Bean & Dutton cutoff); band-picker mode masks cells whose duct doesn't
reach the selected band. Cutoff is pre-computed per cell in both
writers (Elixir derive + Rust derive_row reads best_duct_freq_ghz from
CellValues), persisted to ScalarFile, and shipped to the JS hook via
the existing binary cell pack. Also cleans up six pre-existing
length/1 credo warnings in unrelated test files.
- Unify haversine_km / deg_to_rad: Geo is the canonical home (atan2
form for antipodal stability); Radio, common_volume, rain_scatter,
ionosphere, terrain/srtm, terrain/elevation_client now delegate.
- Drop safe_min/safe_max wrappers in favor of Enum.min/max defaults.
- Move parse_float / parse_int to MicrowavepropWeb.LiveHelpers; eme,
path, and rover LiveViews import from there.
- Extract MicrowavepropWeb.LocationResolver from the eme/path
resolve_source / resolve_location duplicate. Standardize the kind
key and "Invalid grid square" error message.
- Convert Scorer cond chains (humidity, td_depression, sky, wind,
rain, pwat, pressure) to multi-clause guarded defs, matching the
existing classify_time_period style.
- extract_profile_fields uses a named map accumulator instead of a
6-tuple; build_path_conditions guards on %{temps: []} / %{dewpoints: []}.
- Collapse scores_file clamp/3 to max |> min.
- humidity_effect_label lives in BandConfig; map_live and path_live
both use it.
850 mb T alone shows that warm air is present aloft but doesn't reveal
whether it's the textbook cap structure — a warm 700 mb above an EML
plume. The three new layers expose the canonical capping diagnostics
visually:
* T @ 700 mb — ≥10 °C is the southern Plains "moderate cap" threshold
* Td @ 700 mb — wide T-Td depression at 700 mb signals the EML plume
* Lapse 850→700 — steep mid-layer lapse rate (≥7 °C/km) over a moist
boundary layer is the cap mechanism itself
All three derive purely from the existing pressure-level profile (Rust
already fetches up through 700 mb), so no Rust pipeline changes needed.
Found by auditing the ProfilesFile, hrrr_profiles, and weather-layer
contracts against what the Rust writers actually emit.
Bug 1 (HIGH) — Rust `hrrr_points` worker upserted hrrr_profiles rows
with NULL `surface_refractivity`, `min_refractivity_gradient`, and
`ducting_detected`. The Elixir HrrrClient path always wrote them
via SoundingParams.derive. Per-QSO pages that rely on these
scalars ("N:", "dN/dh:", duct badge) showed "—" for any contact
enriched through Stream C. Fixed by porting
`surface_refractivity` + `ducting_detected` into Rust's
`sounding_params.rs` and deriving at upsert time.
Bug 2 (HIGH) — Rust f01..f18 `cell_to_profile_entry` never emitted
wind_u / wind_v / cloud_cover_pct / precip_mm into ProfilesFile
cells. `Propagation.factors_for` recomputes factor scores from the
profile cell on /map click, and these four fields are read
(wind_speed_kts, sky_cover_pct, precip_to_rate_mmhr). Result: every
f01..f18 point-detail popup showed 0 for wind/sky/rain factors.
Fixed by extracting the grib values at cell_to_profile_entry time
and whitelisting the keys for atomization in
profiles_file.ex `@mp_atom_keys`.
Bug 4 (MEDIUM) — `WeatherLayers.duct_field/2` only knew the
`SoundingParams.detect_ducts` shape (`d["base"]` / `d["strength"]`).
The Rust/HrrrNativeClient shape uses `:base_m` / `:thickness_m`
atom keys (post-ProfilesFile.read atomization). On /weather, the
Duct Base / Duct Strength layers returned nil for every Rust-origin
cell. Tolerant lookup now reads either shape; uses `thickness_m`
as the "strength" proxy for the native shape (thicker duct traps
a wider band).
Skipped (verified but lower impact):
- Rust ProfilesFile aggregates ducts as scalars, not per-layer — the
`ducts` array in the popup is always empty. Requires larger
DuctMetrics refactor in Rust; deferred.
- `complete_hrrr_task` emits no NOTIFY (vs `complete` which does).
Elixir has no matching listener yet, so adding NOTIFY alone is a
no-op; the existing cron reconciler catches it.
- `:best_duct_band_ghz` fallback in propagation.ex is dead code;
cleanup, not a bug.
133 Rust tests + 2842 Elixir tests + credo green.
The Rust f01..f18 pipeline writes ProfilesFile cells, and the Rust
hrrr_points worker writes hrrr_profiles rows, with profile entries
keyed "pres_mb" / "hght_m" / "tmpc" / "dwpc" (string keys pre-
atomization; atom keys post-ProfilesFile.read). Elixir's
SoundingParams.derive and WeatherLayers.sort_profile filtered on
"pres" / "hght" — so every derived field returned nil for any
Rust-provided profile.
Visible symptoms on /weather: N-gradient, Refractivity, T @ 850mb,
Td @ 850mb, Lapse Rate, Inversion, Inv. Base all rendered no overlay.
For per-contact analysis, min_refractivity_gradient from the Rust
HRRR point worker's rows silently dropped.
- SoundingParams.normalize_profile_entry/1: single-source normalizer
accepting legacy, Rust-string, and Rust-atom shapes; returns the
canonical "pres"/"hght"/"tmpc"/"dwpc"/"drct"/"sknt" shape.
- SoundingParams.derive/1 and WeatherLayers.sort_profile/1 both run
every entry through it before the rest of the existing logic.
- Weather.build_grid_cache_row/4 now falls back to native_min_gradient
when SoundingParams can't derive one (surface-only profiles).
Also:
- Default /weather overlay changed to Temperature (LiveView assign +
JS fallback in the hook's dataset default) per user request.
