Hi,

It seems that the unit of elevation in file topo.nc is "hundreds
of feet", i.e. 100feet. But the largest value of the elevation is 7833.36.
Does it mean the highest height is 7833.36*100 feet, which is
7833.36*100*0.3048 = 238760.8 meter. This is too high! I am afraid there
is something wrong with the units in topo.nc or I misunderstand them.
Could you help me out ? Thanks a lot.

Xuguang
