of how ocean processes are parameterized, the water mass characteristics of temperature and salinity can vary radically. As small changes in temperature and salinity properties evolve over long model simulation integrations, the water mass properties can diverge from reality, destroying the ability of such models to forecast thermodynamic budgets. As models will never be able to inform us of the subgrid-scale processes that drive ocean mixing, it is therefore necessary to use the data provided
