Hi all,

When reading precipitation from GFS 0.5 deg data precipiation variables
change names between 6h forecast and other hours like this :

 ncl_filedump gfs_data/gfs.t00z.pgrb2f06.grib2 | grep "AP"
      float CAPE_P0_L1_GLL0 ( lat_0, lon_0 )
      float CAPE_P0_2L108_GLL0 ( lv_SPDL11, lat_0, lon_0 )
      float APCP_P8_L1_GLL0_acc ( lat_0, lon_0 )

ncl_filedump gfs_data/gfs.t00z.pgrb2f12.grib2 | grep "AP"
      float CAPE_P0_L1_GLL0 ( lat_0, lon_0 )
      float CAPE_P0_2L108_GLL0 ( lv_SPDL11, lat_0, lon_0 )
      float APCP_P8_L1_GLL0_acc*6h* ( lat_0, lon_0 )

I am not sure if this is a bug or there is an other way to read all
forecast hours with the same variable name.
