Assignment 3: It's Getting Hot in Here

In this assignment you will estimate a temperature, salt, or volume budget. That is, you will take a dataset and try to figure out how to balance the incoming and outgoing sources into a region or into a volume.
You may want to use the ECCO data assimilating datasets, available here.
I will put up an ODV-friendly version shortly and make a link available here.
