<div dir="ltr">Hi Ou,
<div>Thanks for the reply. Can you tell me more about the type of budget that you closed, e.g., the diagnostic (mass, heat, salt, etc) and the layer/geographical area. The reason that I am asking is that a budget over a single grid cell may not need 64-bit
precision, but when integrating over depth, etc, the errors may accumulate. I am currently looking at budgets over the top 1000m for mass, heat, salt. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A very long time ago, I did a budget calculation using MITgcm output that did not close due to 32-bit output, and I changed to 64-bit output and it closed (since then I have always used 64-bit output so I haven't verified that this is necessary). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>thanks,</div>

<div>Hi Martha,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have closed the heat budget for the global ocean using the nctiles output available on
<a href="ftp://ecco.jpl.nasa.gov/Version4/Release3" target="_blank">ftp://ecco.jpl.nasa.gov/Versio<wbr>n4/Release3</a>/. The ratio of STD(tendency-convergences-forc<wbr>ing)/STD(tendency) is ~1e-7. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Although the netCDF files are all in 64-bit precision, some of the original binary diagnostic outputs that were converted to the tiled netCDF files are in 32-bit precision. So apparently it is not necessary for the files to be in 64-bit precision to close
budgets. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Release 3 has geothermal flux. See Section 4.2.1 (page 10) of Chris Piecuch’s

<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>
