<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"> Thanks for your effort for this data which is closed to the budget. It helps me a lot in some salinity research.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"> Recently, when i focused on the advection in details, i came across a question: I wanted to analysis its relevant horizontal and vertical advection processes in some area, so i tried to decompose
the advective flux and find a particular term representing advection of the salinity by current through the base of the tracer cell results from your introduction, but i failed. I just wonder some technological descriptions about this advective flux and its
detailed processes. I hope you could give me some suggestion. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
