[ecco-support] Budgets in ECv4, release 3

[Martha Buckley]

Hi all,
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).

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:
(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".
(2) Did anything change between "r2/iter3" and release3 that might explain
this?
(3) Has anyone closed budgets for release3 using the nctiles output
available on the ECCO website?
thanks,
Martha
