Incorporate Radar Information about satflow HOT 8 CLOSED

Let me know if UK ground-based cloud-penetrating radar data isn't available and I'll ask my friendly contacts at the UK Met Office :)

from satflow.

I've requested access to the 1km rainfall radar data from CEDA (this data is just for the UK) :)

from satflow.

Awesome, great! I'll see if I can find any radar data from Europe too

Woo - CEDA have granted us access to the UK rainfall radar data. Links:

• Docs: https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/uuid/82adec1f896af6169112d09cc1174499
• Web access: http://data.ceda.ac.uk/badc/ukmo-nimrod
• FTP: ftp://ftp.ceda.ac.uk/badc/ukmo-nimrod

Quick update on getting the 1km rainfall radar data from CEDA:

Turns out my login details still work for CEDA! So we can access some CEDA data already (over HTTP or FTP), including getting more NWP data :)

But the 1km rainfall data requires that I request access. I'll request access later today.

Great! They also have 5km Europe data, so going to see if that works too

TODO: use iris package to read in nimrod files and project to correct projection.

Redundant now with openclimatefix/nowcasting_dataset#80 so closing here
