</p>
<p>I am interested in calculating mass, heat and salt budgets for sectors of the Southern Ocean, as well as identifying their drivers (external forcing, internal dynamics) over seasonal to interannual timescales, ideally up to present day. This work is part
of the ORCHESTRA project (<a href="http://projects.noc.ac.uk/orchestra/" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk205613" previewremoved="true">http://projects.noc.ac.uk/orchestra/</a>).</p>

<p>It seems that the obvious flavour of ECCO to use would be SOSE, but would it make sense to use another ECCO dataset in addition? I imagine that there are pros and cons for each of the state estimates. I also accept that there may not be a clear answer
to such a general question, but I would be very grateful if you could share a few of your thoughts please.</p>
