+ \section{Continuity and horizontal pressure gradient terms}
  The core algorithm is based on the ``C grid'' discretization of the
  continuity equation which can be summarized as:
  \begin{eqnarray}
- \partial_t u + \frac{1}{\Delta x_c} \delta_i \left. \frac{ \partial \Phi}{\partial r}\right|_{s} \eta + \frac{\epsilon_{nh}}{\Delta x_c} \delta_i \Phi_{nh}' & = & G_u - \frac{1}{\Delta x_c} \delta_i \Phi_h' \\
+ \partial_t u + \frac{1}{\Delta x_c} \delta_i \left. \frac{ \partial \Phi}{\partial r}\right|_{s} \eta + \frac{\epsilon_{nh}}{\Delta x_c} \delta_i \Phi_{nh}' & = & G_u - \frac{1}{\Delta x_c} \delta_i \Phi_h' \label{eq:discrete-momu} \\
- \partial_t v + \frac{1}{\Delta y_c} \delta_j \left. \frac{ \partial \Phi}{\partial r}\right|_{s} \eta + \frac{\epsilon_{nh}}{\Delta y_c} \delta_j \Phi_{nh}' & = & G_v - \frac{1}{\Delta y_c} \delta_j \Phi_h' \\
+ \partial_t v + \frac{1}{\Delta y_c} \delta_j \left. \frac{ \partial \Phi}{\partial r}\right|_{s} \eta + \frac{\epsilon_{nh}}{\Delta y_c} \delta_j \Phi_{nh}' & = & G_v - \frac{1}{\Delta y_c} \delta_j \Phi_h' \label{eq:discrete-momv} \\
- \epsilon_{nh} \left( \partial_t w + \frac{1}{\Delta r_c} \delta_k \Phi_{nh}' \right) & = & \epsilon_{nh} G_w + \overline{b}^k - \frac{1}{\Delta r_c} \delta_k \Phi_{h}' \\
+ \epsilon_{nh} \left( \partial_t w + \frac{1}{\Delta r_c} \delta_k \Phi_{nh}' \right) & = & \epsilon_{nh} G_w + \overline{b}^k - \frac{1}{\Delta r_c} \delta_k \Phi_{h}' \label{eq:discrete-momw} \\

  The last equation, the discrete continuity equation, can be summed in
  the vertical to yeild the free-surface equation:
  \begin{equation}
- {\cal A}_c \partial_t \eta + \delta_i \sum_k \Delta y_g \Delta r_f h_w u + \delta_j \sum_k \Delta x_g \Delta r_f h_s v =
+ {\cal A}_c \partial_t \eta + \delta_i \sum_k \Delta y_g \Delta r_f h_w
- {\cal A}_c(P-E)_{r=0}
+ u + \delta_j \sum_k \Delta x_g \Delta r_f h_s v = {\cal
+ A}_c(P-E)_{r=0} \label{eq:discrete-freesurface}
  \end{equation}
  The source term $P-E$ on the rhs of continuity accounts for the local
  addition of volume due to excess precipitation and run-off over
  evaporation and only enters the top-level of the {\em ocean} model.

  The vertical momentum equation has the hydrostatic or
  quasi-hydrostatic balance on the right hand side. This discretization

  \end{equation}
  In the atmosphere, using p-coordinates, hydrostatic balance is
  discretized:
  \begin{equation}
  \overline{\theta'}^k + \frac{1}{\Delta \Pi} \delta_k \Phi_h' = 0
+ \label{eq:discrete_hydro_atmos}
  \end{equation}
  where $\Delta \Pi$ is the difference in Exner function between the
  pressure points. The non-hydrostatic equations are not available in
