Greetings:
I am curious if anyone has experienced issues with the change from RUC to RAP
with what I was using for 1 hour total precip accumulation from the RUC model.
As far as I can tell, this parameter was not supposed to change from the
RUC->RAP transition and should still be present as PxxM (where "xx" is either
01, 03, 06 or 12).
Currently, when I run dcgrib2 on files obtained from the NWS TGFTP server (
http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/SL.us008001/ST.opnl/MT.rap_CY.12/RD.20120611/PT.grid_DF.gr2/
) , I decode nearly all the other precip fields (S01M, C01M, etc) but P01M is
missing. A portion of the "gdinfo" output is included below:

Any ideas? I have made sure I updated the "g2varsncep1.tbl" and
"g2varswmo2.tbl" under $GEMTBL/grid from the Gempak tables page. What are we
supposed to be using
