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

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Martin and Christopher,

I've just changed the SOM advection S/R so that the output 
fluxes are no longer multiplied by the time-step.
I checked rapidly that they look reasonable but did not 
try (yet) to close the budget with SOM advection scheme.
Let me know if something else looks strange.
Thanks,
Jean-Michel
