- "To look at the impact of steric height variations, we will also be looking at the actual sea surface height field from ECCOv4. To compare steric height with sea surface height, we of course need to download and retrieve sea surface height output. You can do this by importing the **ecco_download** module and calling the function *ecco_podaac_download* (see the Geostrophic Balance tutorial for an example). Consulting the [variable list](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ECCO-GROUP/ECCO-v4-Python-Tutorial/master/varlist/v4r4_nctiles_monthly_varlist.txt) for monthly mean output, we find that the datasets containing sea surface height have ShortName ```ECCO_L4_SSH_LLC0090GRID_MONTHLY_V4R4```. To start, download the granule of that dataset corresponding to January 2000 (2000-01). Once you have this file downloaded, view its structure using the code below."
