<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div>I am trying to close mass, heat, and salt budgets in ECCo v4 release 3. I closed the budgets to machine precision ((tendancy - ocean convergences - surfaceFluxes)/tendancy ~ 1e-7)) for an older iteration. However, I unable to close the budgets to machine precision for the files on the website for release3 (the budgets visually look fine though). </div><div><br></div><div>I'm trying to figure out if I have a bug in my code or if something changed with the new output. A few questions:</div><div>(1) Are the files 64-bit precision, which is needed to close budgets? This seems to be the case since ncdump says the files are "double". </div><div>(2) Did anything change between "r2/iter3" and release3 that might explain this? </div><div>(3) Has anyone closed budgets for release3 using the nctiles output available on the ECCO website?</div><div>thanks,</div><div>Martha</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Martha W.
