Write downloader task for airflow #3

Description

@tdunning

We need to set up a periodic airflow task to do the following roughly every hour:

  • access U of Iowa archive of MRMS data
  • scan today's directory structure for list of data files
  • check previously downloaded files for difference
  • if different or new, download file
  • signal airflow about changes (if necessary)

On backfill,

  • download with at least 20 seconds between files

Questions:

  • what signals can we derive to detect file changes (perhaps if partially complete files are posted)?
  • how should we test the data integrity? Size? Quick format check by reading grib file?
