  %\paragraph{Need to discuss implicit viscosity somewhere:}
  In general, the horizontal momentum time-stepping can contain some terms
  that are treated implicitly in time,
  such as the vertical viscosity when using the backward time-stepping scheme
  (\varlink{implicitViscosity}{implicitViscosity} {\it =.TRUE.}).
  The method used to solve those implicit terms is provided in
  section \ref{sec:implicit-backward-stepping}, and modifies
  equations \ref{eq:discrete-time-u} and \ref{eq:discrete-time-v} to
  give:

  the rigid-lid formulation, we introduced a switch-like parameter,
  $\epsilon_{fs}$ (\varlink{freesurfFac}{freesurfFac}),

  or motions are high frequency and this corresponds to a reduced
  stability compared to a simple forward time-stepping of such terms.
  The model offers the possibility to leave the tracer and momentum
  forcing terms and the dissipation terms outside the
  Adams-Bashforth extrapolation, by turning off the logical flags

  Vertical diffusion and viscosity can be treated implicitly in time
  using the backward method which is an intrinsic scheme.
  Recently, the option to treat the vertical advection
  implicitly has been added, but not yet tested; therefore,
  the description hereafter is limited to diffusion and viscosity.

  A schematic of the explicit Adams-Bashforth and implicit time-stepping
  phases of the algorithm but with staggering in time of thermodynamic
  variables with the flow.
  Explicit momentum tendencies are evaluated at time level $n-1/2$ as a
  function of the flow field at that time level $n-1/2$.
  The explicit tendency from the previous time level, $n-3/2$, is used to
  extrapolate tendencies to $n$ (dashed arrow).
  The hydrostatic pressure/geo-potential $\phi_{hyd}$ is evaluated directly
  at time level $n$ (vertical arrows) and used with the extrapolated tendencies
  to step forward the flow variables from $n-1/2$ to $n+1/2$ (solid arc-arrow).
  The implicit-in-time operator ${\cal L}_{\bf u,v}$ (vertical arrows) is
  then applied to the previous estimation of the the flow field ($*$-variables)
  and yields to the two velocity components $u,v$ at time level $n+1/2$.
  These are then used to calculate the advection term (dashed arc-arrow)
  of the thermo-dynamics tendencies at time step $n$.
  The extrapolated thermodynamics tendency, from time level $n-1$ and $n$
  to $n+1/2$, allows thermodynamic variables to be stably integrated
  forward-in-time (solid arc-arrow) up to time level $n+1$.

  thermodynamic variables with the flow
  variables. Fig.~\ref{fig:adams-bashforth-staggered} illustrates the
  staggering and algorithm. The key difference between this and
  Fig.~\ref{fig:adams-bashforth-sync} is that the thermodynamic variables
  are solved after the dynamics, using the recently updated flow field.
  This essentially allows the gravity wave terms to leap-frog in
  time giving second order accuracy and more stability.
  The essential change in the staggered algorithm is that the
  thermodynamics solver is delayed from half a time step,
  allowing the use of the most recent velocities to compute
  the advection terms. Once the thermodynamics fields are
  updated, the hydrostatic pressure is computed
