2.16 Tracer equations
The basic discretization used for the tracer equations is the second
order piece-wise constant finite volume form of the forced
advection-diffusion equations. There are many alternatives to second
order method for advection and alternative parameterizations for the
sub-grid scale processes. The Gent-McWilliams eddy parameterization,
KPP mixing scheme and PV flux parameterization are all dealt with in
separate sections. The basic discretization of the advection-diffusion
part of the tracer equations and the various advection schemes will be
described here.
