[MITgcm-support] Vertical Advection Scheme for PTRACERS

[Bertrand Delorme]

Hi Martin,

I need to use the same as the horizontal scheme that I set in the data.ptracers file so I should be all set. Thank you very much for this answer.

    HI Bertrand,
    
    it appears to me, that this has not been implemented. In ptracers_integrate.F either gad_advection or gad_calc_rhs are called. The third argument of each of these routines is the vertical advection scheme. You can see that PTRACERS_advScheme(iTracer) is used, i.e. the same as for horizontal advection (the defautl of which is saltAdvScheme)
    
    So you can either hard code it in that routine, if you want a quick fix, or implement a proper parameter list PTRACERS_vertAdvScheme, in anology to PTRACERS_advScheme.
    
    M.
