Greetings Ian,

I don't know of a source for that specifically (i.e. the actual terrain data GSD use in the model). However, if you look at the surface grids from the experimental HRRR:

http://thredds-jumbo.unidata.ucar.edu/thredds/catalog/grib/HRRR/CONUS_3km/surface/catalog.html

there is a 2D field called "Geopotential_height_surface" that might give you a good approximation of it.

Cheers!

Sean

Hi Sean,

Thank you for your recent help with downloading experimental HRRR grib files. I was wondering if there is a 2-d terrain elevation grib file for the entire HRRR domain that you could point me to. Is that something you could easily find or should I go look for it?

Cheers,

Ian
