Hi Senja,

undershoots can be reduced by flux limited advection schemes, e.g. 33, see documentation.

Making boundary condition files (OBNptrFile(1) and so on) for the tracers fixed the main problem of exploding tracer magnitudes. I still get negative tracer concentrations developing, specifically in areas where there's considerable activity in the fluid, which tends to be accompanied by anomalously high tracer concentrations as well. I believe this might be a problem with my diffusion parameters, or possibly just numerical errors, so I'm tuning things to try and dampen this effect as much as possible.
