[MITgcm-support] Strange results from GAD diagnostics using SOM

[Martin Losch]

Christopher,

I am sure Jean-Michel has a better answer to this, but as far as I  
can see, the flux "afx" that is returned from gad_som_adv_x.F and  
used for diagnostics in gad_som_advect.F is not used for updating the  
tracers, rather it appears to be a purely diagnostic computed in  
gad_som_adv_x.F, which is the place where you should start your code  
safari.
