Product workflows

This document records the current understanding of the visible workspaces. It should be updated when workplace users clarify the real operational purpose.

Home

Entry point and navigation overview. It identifies the development dataset and links to each workspace.

Stations

Purpose: inspect station-focused observations, map values, and open detailed charts for a selected station.

Current status: inherited workflow; still requires detailed workplace validation and UI review.

City Analysis

Purpose: compare historical observations across selected cities.

The operator chooses:

cities;
start and end time;
weather field;
aggregate key;
granularity.

Results can be viewed as grid/list data or rendered into the familiar temperature-map formats. Weather-symbol authoring does not belong in this workflow.

Faktiskā

Purpose: prepare the fixed daily faktiskā laika ziņu karte—the current-weather graphic used on air. The supplied production master images are the authoritative output specification, not visual inspiration.

The production template contains:

the fixed title/source nameplate already present in the production artwork;
the latest available temperature for each fixed station;
weather conditions represented by the bundled weather-font glyphs;
manually entered wind direction, speed, and gust values;
a fixed 3840×1440 PNG output.

Current operator flow:

Open Faktiskā; the fixed station set and latest tempAvg observations load automatically.
Review the observation timestamp, missing/stale indicators, and temperatures.
Override any temperature manually when editorial correction is required; reset restores the fetched value.
Enter wind values manually.
Select a weather glyph, apply it to all stations where appropriate, and adjust exceptions.
Review and download faktiska-3840x1440.png.

Fixed positions:

Position	Station
0	Liepāja
1	Ventspils
2	Stende (temporary substitute for Talsi)
3	Saldus
4	Rīga
5	Jelgava
6	Ainaži
7	Valmiera
8	Madona
9	Alūksne
10	Zīlāni (temporary substitute for Jēkabpils)
11	Daugavpils
12	Rēzekne

The weather symbols are not automatically derived from the historical temperature query. They remain editorial/manual inputs until a reliable phenomena-data mapping is designed and validated.

Valmiera is included in the development seed so all 13 fixed positions can be exercised. Monta is the production typeface; Rubik remains temporary until the authorized Monta font files are supplied. The export dimensions are locked, but final pixel-level placement must still be compared against the production masters after Monta is installed.

Latvia overview

Purpose: aggregate selected fields across Latvia for a selected time range.

Current status: inherited workflow; terminology, units, and workplace use still need validation.

Data archive

Purpose: inspect available database dates and individual stored records/files.

Current status: inherited technical/administrative workflow. Access control and export correctness require review before production use.

HARMONIE

Purpose: inspect and render forecast-model GRIB fields.

Development limitation: no representative HARMONIE GRIB fixtures are currently included, and valid external-provider access is not configured in staging.

LVGMC forecast

Purpose: display prepared LVGMC forecast products and broadcast tables.

Development limitation: representative forecast CSV fixtures are not currently included, and valid external-provider access is not configured in staging.

Decisions still required

Whether weather conditions can eventually be populated automatically and which provider field is authoritative.
Whether Stende and Zīlāni remain the production feeds after users test real provider data.
Confirm how Valmiera is named and sourced when authorized provider data is available.
Final Monta font files and a pixel-level export comparison against the production masters.
Required authentication and role separation for analytical, production, and administrative workspaces.
