11  The {\tt generic\_advdiff} package provides...  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    \subsubsection{Introduction}
20    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.

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}
