11 jmc 1.4 The {\tt generic\_advdiff} package contains high-level
12     subroutines to solve the advection-diffusion equation
13     of any tracer, either active (potential temperature,
14     salinity or water vapor) or passive (see pkg/ptracers).
15     (see also sections \ref{sect:tracer_equations} to
16     \ref{sect:tracer_advection_schemes}).

19 molod 1.5 \subsubsection{Introduction}
20 cnh 1.6 Package ``generic\_advdiff'' provides a common set of routines for
21     calculating advective/diffusive fluxes for tracers (cell centered
22     quantities on a C-grid).
23    
24     Many different advection schemes are available: the standard centered
25     second order, centered fourth order and upwind biased third order
26     schemes are known as linear methods and require some stable
27     time-stepping method such as Adams-Bashforth. Alternatives such as
28     flux-limited schemes are stable in the forward sense and are best
29     combined with the multi-dimensional method provided in gad\_advection.
30    
31     \subsubsection{Key subroutines, parameters and files}
32     \label{sec:pkg:gad:implementation_synopsis}
33     There are two high-level routines:
34     \begin{itemize}
35     \item{GAD\_CALC\_RHS} calculates all fluxes at time level ``n'' and is
36     used for the standard linear schemes. This must be used in
37     conjuction with Adams--Bashforth time stepping. Diffusive and
38     parameterized fluxes are always calculated here.
39    
40     \item{GAD\_ADVECTION} calculates just the advective fluxes using the
41     non-linear schemes and can not be used in conjuction with
42     Adams--Bashforth time stepping.
43     \end{itemize}
