You need to multiply by hFacW in order to account for partial cells

I want to study the transports of water through section A and B (in the north and south of the strait with sill). There two sections , the western boundary of island and the weastern boundary of basin form the boundary of an closed region, therefore the transports through these two sections are suppose to be strictly equal. But they are not, as seen from the result of numerical model. Is it possibly and how could this be? Every suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
