This PR increases the usability of the IEM GIPL 4 km coverage by expanding data coverage and fixing no data values.
Data for coastal locations that fell beyond the coarse 4 km grid was interpolated via a morphological dilation.
A function was added to force -9999 values and avoid instances of dual np.nan and -9999.0 values.
Data were cropped to the bounding box of the IEM + plus Aleutians domain.
Repeated time series sequences of certain ALT values in the netCDF are now converted to nodata by examining where values were repeated two or more times and applying a mask.
The NetCDF produced by this PR is ingested on both Apollo and Zeus.
