wgrib2 -lola ... bin writes Fortran unformatted records (4-byte length header + data + 4-byte length trailer per message). parse_lola_binary was treating the binary as tightly packed, causing every message after the first to read from the wrong offset — values came out as garbage across all grid points. Fix: account for the 8-byte record overhead per message when computing the data offset for each message's grid values. This bug affects both the existing propagation grid extraction (which may have been producing subtly wrong scores) and the new native-level extraction (which was producing obviously wrong values). The fix is a one-line stride change. Also adds Backtest.Features.native_surface_refractivity for the Phase 1 sanity check, plus a tighter wgrib2 match pattern that selects only hybrid-level messages from the native file.

defmodule Microwaveprop.Weather.HrrrNativeClient do

|

Fetches HRRR native hybrid-sigma profiles from the AWS HRRR bucket.
|
||
|
||
This is the companion to `HrrrClient`, which works against the
|
||
surface and 25 hPa pressure-level products. The native file
|
||
(`wrfnatf00.grib2`) carries all variables on the 50 hybrid-sigma
|
||
levels native to the HRRR model grid. Vertical spacing near the
|
||
surface is ~10-50 m instead of the ~250 m the pressure-level
|
||
product gives us — crucial for resolving the ducts and
|
||
boundary-layer inversions discussed in
|
||
`docs/plans/2026-04-09-propagation-modeling-improvements.md`.
|
||
|
||
## Design: batch, not per-point
|
||
|
||
Each native-level HRRR file is ~566 MB. Essential variables (TMP,
|
||
SPFH, HGT, UGRD, VGRD, TKE, PRES on all 50 hybrid levels) span
|
||
~530 MB of that file. Per-point on-demand fetching is not viable.
|
||
Instead, the worker fetches the file once per `(date, hour)`,
|
||
extracts native profiles for every point of interest in one pass,
|
||
and bulk-inserts them.
|
||
|
||
See `docs/research/hrrr_native_levels.md` for the full analysis.
