Click a row's info area to expand a Leaflet mini-map centered on that
pin, defaulting to ESRI World_Imagery satellite (zoom up to 21) with
OSM/Topo toggles in a top-right layer control.
Adds Microwaveprop.Canopy module that reads 1° × 1° uint8 per-degree
canopy-height tiles (mirrors SRTM .hgt naming/layout, 30 m resolution).
Returns 0 m for areas with no tile on disk so the lookup is safe to
thread through the existing path-clearance pipeline before any data
lands.
Wires canopy into:
- PathTerrain.obstacle_top: per-sample blocker = ground +
max(building_m, canopy_m), so the rover ranks paths through forests
as obstructed even when no buildings sit on the line
- CandidateDetail profile: each sample now carries canopy_m alongside
building_m
- Rover-detail SVG: green "trees" polygon stacked on terrain, under
the red building polygon
- Path calculator elevation chart: green Tree Canopy dataset between
terrain and buildings
Data prep (download Potapov 2019 / Lang 2022 GeoTIFF, slice to per-degree
uint8 tiles, drop in /data/canopy/) is a separate one-shot operation —
without tiles, lookups return 0 and the existing behavior is unchanged.
Path calculator now queries Microsoft Building Footprints for the
tallest structure within 80m of each profile sample and renders a red
"Buildings" dataset on top of the terrain layer in the elevation chart.
Also normalize on-disk grid HRRR cells to include the legacy
:min_refractivity_gradient / :surface_refractivity / :ducting_detected
keys (mapped from :native_min_gradient and :duct_count). Path-calculator
crashed in prod with KeyError when a path's HRRR points came from the
new on-disk grid format instead of the DB profile shape.
Phase 2/3/5 of the building-blockage support:
* Parser streams csv.gz tiles into compact records (centroid, radius,
height) — keeps RAM ~32 B per polygon, drops -1.0-height entries.
* Index buckets records into 0.01° (~1 km) grid cells in a public ETS
table for concurrent reads; max_height_near/3 and records_near/3
scan only the 9 nearest buckets.
* Loader lazily parses any cached quadkey before a Calculate so the
scorer is terrain-only when tiles aren't on disk yet.
* Rover.PathTerrain now treats each path-sample obstacle as
terrain_elev + max_local_building_height, so blocked LOS through
recent construction actually reduces clearance.
* Selecting a candidate pushes a candidate_buildings event with the
buildings near each rover→station path; the hook renders them as
height-coloured circles (yellow <10 m, orange 10-30 m, red >=30 m)
with a tooltip showing height in meters.
- Detail panel now reads as an aiming card: "Aim 220° (SW) · clearance +12 ft"
with the precise bearing in degrees, plus rover/obstacle elev on a second line
- Elevation profile labels swapped from min/max-of-profile to start (rover) and
end (station) elevations, since their positions in the chart now match
- Map draws a dashed indigo polyline from the candidate to each selected
station when a candidate is opened; cleared when the panel closes
For each (rover cell, fixed station) pair, sample SRTM along the
great-circle path and add a per-link dB bonus proportional to the
rover's elevation above the highest intermediate terrain. Rover spots
on hilltops with clear sight to multiple stations now rise to the top.
Also vendor Leaflet's layers control PNGs and copy them under
priv/static/assets/css/images/ on build so /rover stops 404'ing on
layers-2x.png.
The 18-hour forecast chart on /path now shows the same weighted-
criteria panel the /map popup builds when the user clicks a grid
cell. Hovering a dot fires a server roundtrip that fetches
Propagation.point_detail at the path's midpoint for that valid_time;
results are cached client-side so re-hovering is instant.
`Propagation.point_detail/4` now returns a `:profile_source` tag —
`:exact`, `{:fallback, fallback_valid_time}`, or `:unavailable` —
distinguishing real per-hour breakdowns (Rust pipeline writes a
profile file for every f00..f18 step) from rare cycle-miss fallbacks
where we approximate from a recent analysis profile. Stale comment
about "only f00 persists profiles" updated.
Map utilities (FACTOR_META, FACTOR_ORDER, factorBar,
factorExplanation, scoreTier, FactorMeta, ScoreTier) are now exported
from propagation_map_hook so the new path hook reuses the exact same
look + copy.
Two follow-ups to the earlier /skewt work:
1. Interactive crosshair (matches the SPC-viewer feel from the
reference screenshot). Mousing over the diagram now drops a
horizontal pressure cursor with a top-left readout box showing the
pressure at the cursor's altitude (mb), the height in m and ft,
and the linearly interpolated temperature and dewpoint at that
level. Two coloured dots track the T and Td traces along the
cursor so the user can read the spread visually.
Mechanics: SkewtSvg.geometry/0 exposes the plot geometry (left,
right, top, bottom, p_bottom, p_top, t_min, t_max, skew) as JSON;
SkewtSvg emits an initially-hidden <g class="skewt-cursor"> layer.
A new Skewt hook in assets/js/app.ts inverts pressure_y to recover
pressure from the cursor's viewBox-Y, walks the (descending-pres-
sorted) profile to interp T/Td/height, and updates the elements.
The hook also handles mouseleave to hide the cursor and uses the
SVG's screen-CTM so the math stays correct under any container
aspect-ratio resize.
2. DB fallback for `available_valid_times`/`load_profile`. When the
on-disk `ProfilesFile` has nothing for the location-and-window
(true on dev, transient on prod between chain runs), SkewtLive
now falls back to `HrrrProfileLookup.{list_valid_times_near,
read_point_near}/3` against the `hrrr_profiles` Postgres table.
The lookup uses the same ±0.07° spatial tolerance and the
`(lat, lon, valid_time)` unique index that `Weather.find_nearest_
hrrr/3` already relies on, so the queries are index-only.
Returned shape matches `ProfilesFile.read_point/3` so SkewtLive
reads from either source transparently. NaiveDateTime → UTC
normalisation is centralised in `ensure_utc/1` so the LiveView
sees `%DateTime{time_zone: "Etc/UTC"}` regardless of which side
produced the value.
Tests: 6/6 new HrrrProfileLookupTest cases (list/limit/tolerance,
read nearest cell, nil for far cells, picks closest among matches),
3/3 SkewtLiveTest still green, 2,894 total Elixir tests + 221
properties green via mix test (one pre-existing flaky test in
admin/contact_edit_live re-runs clean). mix credo --strict clean.
mix assets.build clean.
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.
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.
Replaces the SVG schematic on /eme with a textured WebGL scene: NASA
Blue Marble Earth, real-size Moon, outbound beam, dashed return ray
to the sub-lunar point, and a red shading on the anti-moon hemisphere
that marks who can't see the Moon (outside the bounce footprint).
Three.js (~680 kB) now lives in its own chunk; esbuild --splitting
keeps it out of the main bundle so it only loads when a user hits
/eme. Main app.js drops from 1.6 MB to 922 kB.
Also swaps the Elevation/SNR rows so the badge comes before the number.
**Wire format — /map scores payload.** Every `update_scores` /
`preload_forecast` / `data-scores` embed previously shipped each
point as `{"lat":X,"lon":Y,"score":Z}`. At 95k cells in full CONUS
that's ~36 bytes/point × 95k = 3.4 MB of JSON, ~50% of it repeating
the three key names. Packing as `[lat, lon, score]` tuples drops
per-point overhead to ~19 bytes → ~1.8 MB on the wire, ~45% smaller.
New `Propagation.pack_scores/1` is used at every push_event +
initial_scores_json boundary; internal Elixir still uses the
`%{lat, lon, score}` map so no other callers change.
JS hook: `ScorePoint` becomes `[number, number, number]`, the
`renderScores` loop destructures to positional args. Regression
test in map_live_test updated to match the new shape.
**ProfilesFile compression.** Rust writer was at gzip level 6
(default). Files are write-once-per-forecast-hour but read by
every pod mount + point_detail click. Bumped to level 9 (best):
~30% slower encode (hidden by spawn_blocking — not on user path),
~5–10% smaller on semi-structured MessagePack bodies. No reader
changes needed — same gzip stream.
**TypeScript strictness.**
- `app.ts`: replace `({detail}: any)` on phx:live_reload:attached
with a CustomEvent<Reloader> shape naming only the API we touch.
- `weather_map_hook.ts`: drop the `(this as any)._map` pair by
declaring a `GridLayerWithMap = L.GridLayer & { _map: L.Map }`
intersection on the overlay's createTile `this` parameter.
- `global.d.ts`: replace `liveSocket: any` / `liveReloader: any`
with focused LiveSocketLike / LiveReloaderLike shapes that name
only the devtools-visible API.
No more `any` in the codebase (verified via rg).
Same bug as the propagation map had in 9db9e6a. When wall-clock is
past :30, the slot after Now rounded to '0h' and read as a duplicate
'Now' label. Anchor the per-slot offset math to the Now slot's own
time so labels always read '-1h / Now / +1h / +2h' regardless of
where inside the hour the user loaded the page.
When wall-clock is past :30, the hour *after* Now rounded to "0h" and
the Now slot kept its "Now" tag — two adjacent buttons both reading
as the current hour. Anchor the offset math to the Now slot itself so
the label sequence reads "-1h / Now / +1h / +2h" regardless of where
inside the hour the user loaded the page.
Telemetry showed ~66 PropagationGridWorker exceptions per 6h with
55 ArgumentErrors and 11 TimeoutErrors, producing ~13 discarded
chain steps. Each discard broke the chain: subsequent forecast
hours were never enqueued, leaving the score store with huge gaps
(e.g. at 14:11 UTC the earliest available forecast was 18:00,
because f00-f05 all failed somewhere upstream and nothing ran
after them).
Three changes:
1. PropagationGridWorker: on the final attempt, still enqueue
fh+1 even when this step failed. Oban discards the current
job normally — but the rest of the chain keeps running, so
one bad hour doesn't take out the remaining 12-18. The
rescue is factored into a tested public helper.
2. HrrrClient.parse_idx: skip malformed idx lines instead of
raising. NOAA S3 occasionally serves an HTML error page as
the idx body, and the old strict String.to_integer path
raised ArgumentError on the first non-numeric line and took
down the chain step. This is the root cause of the 55
ArgumentErrors.
3. JS renderTimeline: when no forecast hour is at-or-before
wall-clock (all times are future — the gap scenario the
fixes above are designed to prevent), stop labeling the
earliest future slot "Now". Lets the user see honest
"+Nh" offsets instead of a lie on the pill.
The main map page now reads band, selected time, and map
center/zoom from URL params and updates the URL as the user pans,
zooms, picks a band, or scrubs the timeline. Pan/zoom use
push_patch replace-mode so browser history isn't spammed, while
band and time changes push fresh entries.
Also fix the 'Up to date · just now ago' pipeline chip — 'just
now' already reads as an instant so the trailing 'ago' is
redundant. Any older duration keeps it.
Both the Elixir initial-cursor pick and the JS timeline renderer
used nearest-by-absolute-distance, so any wall-clock time past
:30 snapped the 'Now' label onto the next top-of-hour forecast —
up to ~30 min in the future. Switch to the latest valid_time at
or before wall-clock, with a fallback to the earliest time when
every slot is future (shouldn't happen for HRRR, safe default).
Add Microwaveprop.Format.distance_km/1 and a matching formatDistanceKm
helper for the JS side. Both emit "X mi (Y km)" with one decimal under
10 mi and whole numbers above.
Replace the ad-hoc format_dist/format_km_mi helpers with the shared
formatter and update every user-facing distance render: contact
detail, contacts index column, user profile contact/involving tables,
path finder summary + sounding list, contacts map line popups, beacon
coverage tooltip, and propagation map range estimate + rain scatter
cell popup.
Three improvements to the contact detail page:
* Track async hydration per source in `hydration_pending` so the
Terrain / Soundings / Atmospheric Profile sections render a loading
spinner while their task is in-flight instead of briefly flashing
"no data available" before the payload arrives.
* Propagation analysis summary now names the origin station by
callsign ("Path is terrain-obstructed at N mi from W5XD") instead
of the generic "station 1" placeholder.
* Elevation profile chart labels the 0-mi and max-mi ticks with the
matching callsign so it's obvious which end of the profile is
which station.
Antenna height now drives typical/extended/exceptional range estimates
and viewshed max range via a sqrt(h_m/10) factor clamped to [0.6, 2.0].
Baseline 33 ft matches the existing defaults. Changing the height input
now pushes update_band_info and refreshes the clicked point's detail
panel plus viewshed so the range-estimate line and coverage shape track
the user's actual station height.
rover_map_hook and weather_map_hook share the same viewport-scoped
data flow as the propagation map — they hit the same blank-tile bug
after tab hide or socket reconnect. Add reconnected() + visibilitychange
handlers and document the requirement in CLAUDE.md so future hooks that
push map_bounds don't regress.
When the tab was hidden or the LiveView socket dropped, the server-side
bounds/scores assigns reset while the hook's scoreGrid retained its old
viewport data. Tiles Leaflet created or regenerated outside that stale
extent painted blank, leaving the overlay visibly truncated.
algo.md rewrite:
- Strip retrospective language (was/previously/↑ from/Reverted/prior)
so the doc describes the current algorithm instead of its history.
Parts 2b/2c/2d lose their dated headings.
- Replace ERA5 references with NARR — ERA5 was never populated in
prod; NARR is the real historical-backfill path (1979–2014 via
NCEP / NCEI).
- Fold the sounding ducting-probability table, HPBL binned distance,
and per-band signal summary into the current-state discussion
instead of "changes since last refresh" tables.
- Note the bulk_richardson gating on the native-duct boost (code
follow-up in a separate commit).
Algo page UI: widen .markdown-content from 64rem → 88rem so the
per-band weight + correlation matrices stop overflowing on typical
screens. Wide tables inside markdown content now get their own
horizontal scroll (display: block + overflow-x: auto) rather than
forcing the whole container to scroll.
Adopt the handoff design system: navy-slate surfaces with indigo-violet
accent (#6366F1 dark / #5458E3 light), Inter as the UI font, hairline
1px borders, softer corner radii. Add propagation-scale and amateur-band
CSS vars so JS hooks can pull theme-aware colors via getComputedStyle.
Polish: drop table zebra striping for hover-on-base-200 rows with
uppercase small-caps headers, bump .header to text-2xl, tighten nav
spacing with a hairline divider, fix broken text-brand -> text-primary
on the auth screens.
Wire --band-* into contacts_map_hook: resolve once at mount, re-resolve
on data-theme mutation so polylines recolor when the theme toggles.
Band toggles previously roundtripped through LiveView and rebuilt every
polyline + popup + hover handler on each click. Now the hook builds one
L.LayerGroup per band once after the initial fetch; toggling is just
addLayer/removeLayer on the map (O(bands), not O(contacts)). Checkbox
and All/None events are handled directly in the hook via delegated
document listeners — no LV roundtrip. Callsign filter still roundtrips
(debounced) since it's cross-cutting, and now iterates pre-built
polylines without recreating them.
Vendors canvas-confetti 1.9.3 and wires an ImportConfetti hook on the
alert-success banner that /imports/:id already renders when
run.status == "complete". The hook uses the "realistic look" preset
from confetti.js.org and runs on mount, so it fires exactly once —
when the banner first appears.
57,186 prod contacts stored pos1/pos2 with 'lng'; 1,133 used 'lon'.
Every Elixir caller carried a `pos["lon"] || pos["lng"]` fallback
— which just caused a SQL widget to silently miscount 98% of contacts
(count_narr_done used `pos1->>'lon'` directly, no fallback, so every
lng-keyed row returned NULL and failed the coverage check).
- Migration rewrites every pos1/pos2 JSONB in place, renaming 'lng' to
'lon' and dropping 'lng'.
- Removes all 20+ `|| pos["lng"]` fallbacks across lib/, workers,
scorer, weather, radio.ex, contact show view, and recalibrator.
- lib_ml/propagation_analyze.ex SQL now reads pos1->>'lon' directly
(was reading 'lng' only, which would have broken after migration).
- priv/repo/import_contacts.exs one-time seed script now emits 'lon'
with string keys, matching production shape.
- Test fixtures in 4 test files normalized to 'lon'.
- Two lng-characterization tests deleted — nonsensical post-normalize.
- Updated notebook + old import_weather script to match.
- JS hook contact_map_hook.ts TypeScript type narrowed to 'lon'.
The US 9cm amateur allocation was cut from 3300-3500 to 3300-3450 MHz
in 2020, so 3456 (the legacy weak-signal calling frequency) is no
longer in-band. Move the canonical key to 3400, migrate existing
contacts, and keep 3456 input resolving to 3400 via the
nearest-band snap so historical ADIF/CSV logs still import cleanly.
