Known issue.

One user feedback: "On my laptop, the python GUI responds quite slowly. Also, it was quite difficult to find KNS in the figure since the elevation lines at the margins are very close. I had to stretch the figure over a two work spaces to see something and select (easy with ubuntu, more difficult on windows I guess). Also the quit button did not work here."

The slowness comes from handling the large 1 km file for the whole of Greenland.

You may want to pre-cut the 1 km file, with a guess of a rectangle which is bigger than the expected regional model domain, something like

ncks -d x,i1,i2 -d y,j1,j2 gr1km.nc gr1km-precut.nc

where the indices i1,i2 and j1,j2 are just guesses. Then run the GUI and the rest of the regional model on gr1km-precut.nc.
