Modified topography in MPAS

Hi, I am conducting some experiments in the East Pacific, and I would like to flatten the Andes Mountains in South America. I'm wondering about the best approach to do this in MPAS.
In my mind, the easiest method (probably because I'm not familiar with the binary GMTED10 files) might be to modify the static NetCDF file with, for example, xarray in Python, but I don't know if that would have any issues along the way. If that’s not recommended, I assume modifying the binary GMTED10 files might be better. Does anyone have thoughts or suggestions on this?

Thanks,

I would suggest that you modify terrain data in your static.nc file (the one you generated by running init_atmopshere_model).
Both NCL can python can be used.
