There are two features that are unused at the moment and should be in favor of removal to help clean up the package.

OpenDAP

OpenDAP NetCDF reader of HRRR files. This was a test feature where the grib files were converted to NetCDF then loaded to an OpenDAP server. The goal was to allow subsetting of the HRRR files so the grib didn't need to be loaded. However, the hrrr_preprocessor crops the files needed which will allow us to upload data to HPC environments more easily than even the netcdfs.

There is also a possibility that the .idx files will allow subsetting of grib files.

HRRR FTP download

This was setup many years ago when the FTP site was the only option for current data. Now there is an http equivalent which is what we use currently for downloading in real time. There is also new data on Google Cloud which may be another option in the future.

Does this also include the grib2nc helper?

grib2nc is just a wrapper for the wgrib2 call that converts so we probably don't need it anymore.
