[gradsusr] Extrapolate the 1000mb Height

[Lee Byerle]

Andrew,
Here is a link that might be helpful.   Extrapolation of the heights are made using the hydrostatic equation:

Is there a good way to extrapolate where the 1000mb height would be?

For example, in doing a 1000mb to 500mb thickness, I have the 500mb height, and I have the surface elevation, but I do not have the calculated 1000mb height to create a thickness map.

How is that done? Obviously its below ground over most areas, especially the mountains.
