precipitation gfs grib with grib2ctl...

[claudio cortes]

Hi!

I download the gfs grib datasets stored in:
ftp://ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/gfs/prod/gfs.yyyymmddhh/wafsgfs_P_hhz_intdskFF

I apply:

cat * > mydata.grb
grib2ctl.pl -verf mydata.grb > mydata.ctl
gribmap -e  -i mydata.ctl

All variables seems OK in the map, but the precipitation doesn't show,
grads only says "Cannot contour grid - all indefined values"

What's wrong ? (perhaps grib2ctl doesn't support precipitation yet)
