I have maintained this app for some time, but currently
I have no access to the server anymore so I cannot apply your suggested
dataset. Do you know a WMS-Server where this data is made available to
the public? This would reduce the ammount of work which needs to be
done to preprocess.

I leave it this to the current maintainers at GDF for decision.

Best
