[ecco-support] [EXTERNAL] interpolated ecco fields

[Wang, Ou (329B)]

Casey,

The interpolation does not preserve integrated properties, and therefore the interpolated fields cannot be used to close property budgets. Please use the native fields in nctiles_monthly for budget calculations. 

Best,

    Hello,
    
    I am a graduate student at CSU and interested in working with output from ECCO to quantify the role of ocean dynamics in contributing to SST variance across the globe. I am looking into the data and found that we should not use the interpolated fields for budget calculations. Maybe it is obvious, but I am wondering why this is? Does the error become large?
    
    Thank you,
    Casey
