Fix rectangle of zeros to the north east of the UK on eumetsat_*.zarr

[JackKelly]

Describe the bug
From manually looking at the "eumetsat_*.zarr" data (i.e. the non-HRV data), most timesteps have a rectangle of zeros like this:

Occasionally the rectangle extends further west:

Occasionally there is no rectangle:

The HRV data doesn't appear to have this "rectangle of zeros" problem.

In the non-HRV data: for a given timestep, the rectangle appears to be the same shape across all the non-HRV channels.

To Reproduce

ZARR_PATH = "/mnt/storage_ssd_8tb/data/ocf/solar_pv_nowcasting/nowcasting_dataset_pipeline/satellite/EUMETSAT/SEVIRI_RSS/zarr/v2/eumetsat_*.zarr"

ds_from_zarr = xr.open_mfdataset(
    ZARR_PATH, mode="r", engine="zarr", chunks='auto', parallel=True, concat_dim='time', combine='nested',
    preprocess=lambda dataset: dataset.drop_vars("acq_time", errors="ignore")
)

VARIABLE = "VIS006"
data = ds_from_zarr['stacked_eumetsat_data'].sel(variable=VARIABLE, time=pd.Timestamp("2020-07-01T12:00"))
data.plot.imshow(figsize=(10, 10), x='x', y='y');

Expected behavior
No rectangle of zeros 🙂

Additional context
For now, we can probably work around this issue:

• The "rectangle of zeros" probably won't affect our training too much, because I would guess the "rectangle of zeros" is too far north to appear in most of our examples? (Although I don't remember how large of a satellite image we're currently using?)
• We should maybe re-compute the means and standard deviations for the satellite data, ignoring the northern latitudes where the "rectangle of zeros" sometimes appears.
• This doesn't appear to explain the -1 issue (-1s in the satellite data nowcasting_dataset#484), although it might be related (I'm not sure yet!)

Thanks for looking into this! The size of the satellite image is 24x24 with the 4-6km pixels for these Non-HRV channels, larger as we go further north, which then gives 144km on the largest ones. So these might show up on examples in the north I guess.

OK, cool beans, I've started two new issues to work round this issue for now.

In terms of fixing this issue (which perhaps isn't super-urgent) I guess the next step is to figure out if these "rectangles of zeros" existing in the original .nat files

[JackKelly]

The "rectangle of zeros" starts at 1,037,047 meters (OSGB "northing") and extends north.

OK, I've implemented the code to drop GSPs which are so far north that they might bump into the "rectangles of zeros"... luckily this only drops 2 GSPs.
