20  Package {\tt generic\_advdiff} is a...  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.

33  The {\tt generic\_advdiff} package has...  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.
