<div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Recently, I have been using ECCO v4, which you were involved in developing, to analyze IOD events during specific years.
However, I have encountered a discrepancy between ECCO and GODAS regarding vertical advection. Specifically, during positive IOD events, vertical advection in the western Indian Ocean is negative in ECCO but positive in GODAS, showing opposite behaviors. Could
you provide some guidance on the possible reasons behind this inconsistency? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<p><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I greatly appreciate any insights or recommendations you can provide.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
