Description

The error below previously seen in #931 has now occurred for `ua_tavg-al-hxy-u` and `va_tavg-al-hxy-u` in the ap6 stream. This should be re investigated to determine why the initial fix does not work for these variables.

Research direction

Review the initial fix from issue #931 and the Time contiguity check for the ap6 stream. Reproduce the discrepancy with ua_tavg-al-hxy-u and va_tavg-al-hxy-u, using the reported coordinate and time-bound values as the starting case. Done means the underlying cause is identified and the checker no longer reports an incorrect length discrepancy for these variables.
