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

[Martin Losch]

Christopher,

by coincidence, the same problem you are having was encountered in  
our lab today, which forced me to have closer look at  
gad_som_adv_x.F. My conclusion from a rough scale analysis is that  
the diagnostic ADVx/y/r_TH etc is multiplied by the (tracer) time- 
step, so dividing your output by deltaTtracer, or if you don't have  
that, by deltaT, should bring the values down to normal.

Jean-Michel, can you fix this (if it is really the problem)? I don't  
know this part of the code too well.
