[gradsusr] Number of Full Domain Grid Values Available in HRRR Domain

[Jeff Duda]

First note - I wouldn't prefer to use GrADS if I had other software
available, as using GrADS isn't guaranteed to give a 100% accurate answer.
If you have access to the NCO utilities (ncdump) and the raw HRRR output, I
would just do an 'ncdump -h' on the output file.

If you really need to use GrADS, one trick you can try is this

'd asum(const(refdtotal,1),lon=276,lon=295,lat=37,lat=48.5)'

This function creates a new field such that all valid data points in the
field refdtotal (which should match the HRRR domain) are set to 1, and then
the sum of all those 1s is taken over the domain. Thus, it should spit out
the number of grid points in the domain. You can use any field in the data
set and any domain bounds so long as they fully encompass the valid data,
as the asum() function won't consider missing data points (i.e., where the
field is invalid outside of the model domain).
