Describe the issue

GFSLexicon don't have tp06, but tp06 is in fuxi model VARIABLES. The variable related to precipitation in GFSLexicon is 'tcwv': 'PWAT::entire atmosphere (considered as a single layer)'，but it should be different from the six hour cumulative precipitation variable.

Hi @wlu1998

NOAA's data sources don't offer a tp06 like variable. The best offered is tp accumulated over the past 3 hours:

597 surface APCP 0-3 hour acc Total Precipitation [kg/m^2]

which we can add, however this won't work with FuXi exactly but would be close enough potentially. tp06 is best found in the weather bench 2 dataset. I have also seen some scripts with GFS that just feed in a zero array for tp06, but thats not ideal.

Let me know if there is a specific variable you have in mind from GFS.

ok，thanks！

Added tp (3 hour accumulated) to GFS_FX forecast source, you could extend that to create a custom data source if you wanted that approximates tp06.

Note tp is not available for lead time 0.
