[IDV #NQM-654115]: Error Displaying SREF Model From RAMADDA Server

Hi Jacob-

Sorry for the delay in responding.  There was an issue with the naming of
the variables for these ensemble grids.  The grids you are seeing are really
the standard deviation grids.   In the next version of RAMADDA and of the
motherlode server (due out hopefully this week), we should have the grids
labeled correctly.

> This model run comes from the NCEP link under the IDD data.
