[MITgcm-support] Adjoins advection schemes

[Martin Losch]

Christopher, 

the easiest way to find out is to have a look at gad_advection or gad_calc_rhs (the calls to GAD_*_ADV_X/Y). You'll see that most schemes "work" (i.e., they are allowed to be used) but in particular OS7MP (and I think SOM) doesn't work. From my experience I recommend using linear advection schemes (which rules out all flux limited schemes) for more accurate gradients.
