Guancheng,

Yes, the nctiles_monthly fields are on the natural model grid.

My guess is that your budget would not exactly close if you added each budget term after running them through a 36-month filter.  However, after you separate the advective and diffusive terms into Ekman, geostrophic, and residual components (following the suggestion and example of Martha Buckley), you may still be able to determine which factors explain the most variance on interannual time scales.

    Dear Mr Ian,
    Thank you for your reply and your patience! I will follow your professional advices to close the MLS budget by using the native model grid data firstly and then test the importance of horizontal
     Transport. 
           First, i want to make sure that the "nctiles_monthly" fields are on the natural model grid. Then,i want to ask you another question. Because what i am concerned is the interannnual to decadal variability of salinity budget, i want to know whether it will affect the closing of MLS Budget if i smoothed time series with 36-month filter and even depart
     it from the climatory.  
    Thank you for your patience again! I really appreciate your help!
    
    
    Best Reg! ards,
