Wind data changes #2

Currently our wind data source is updating every 6 hours from https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/filter_gfs_1p00.pl. The same source has 1 hour frequency updates available but only for a smaller region: https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/filter_rap32.pl (North America only, not global).

We need to work on changing this source to use the more frequently updating source.

converter.py is the only file that needs to be looked at here.

It does not look like this will be a straightforward link switch since the parameters used may be different.
