Replace atmospheric data source in fuel moisture data assimilation FMDA #31

Closed janmandel closed 5 years ago

janmandel commented 6 years ago

RTMA is available for the last 24 hours and has many artifacts from radar, national boundaries, etc. apparently reflecting the data assimilated at certain locations only. Therefore FMDA runs only at present, requires a real-time spinup, and the resulting fuel moisture has highly visible artifacts.

Replace RTMA by other atmospheric data sources that are available for other periods and hopefully without artifacts.

Closed due to being duplicate of #22.

Artefacts fixed in 77c9405. 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. #22
