[MITgcm-support] advection of passive tracers

[Martin Losch]

Hi Renske,

I cannot see anything obviously wrong. Try diagnosing the advective fluxes of temperature and your passive tracer (with the diagnostics package), maybe that gives you more clues. This should be some small simple mistake.

I altered the RBCS code to be able to restore velocities as well (just as a model trick to avoid open boundary conditions). This works fine. Also the other passive tracer I use, outside the restoring area, works without any problems. If you need more info or files, please let me know. Thanks.

In the same region I'm also restoring temperature. Now the temperature nicely advects with the flow into my main domain, but the passive tracer stays in the restoring area. Does anyone know what could be going wrong here?
