Replace atmospheric data source in FMDA #22

RTMA is lightweight 2D but has many artefacts and history does not exist. Try NAM227 or HRRR instead, process into 2D surface data. Use the same meteo products as for the simulation itself. Support general target time not just the present.

Artefacts fixed in 77c9405d43b782b3d0f18c59bd1d7d10cb61d134. In RTMA, rain is set to > 9e36 outside of radar circles. Replacing by zero if > 1e10. Radar circles may still be visible if there is rain in the circles but not outside.
