[MITgcm-support] tracer concentration

[Angela Marie Zalucha]

Hello, I am working with the ptracers package.  I am finding that after 
running for about 5 days, the tracers are not conserving mass at all--the 
increase in mass is about 50%, which is pretty significant.  I am using 
advection scheme 81 (I have tried 7, 30, 33, 77, 80, but with similar 
results).  Is this typical?  Are there any ways around this?

Thanks,
   Angela
