Summary

The horizontal propagation of a 1-D tracer patch allows to verify the implementation of numerical mixing terms in the model anlong with comparing the effect of using different tracer advection schemes in the presence of a sharp front. The model results are intended to be accessed from the THREDDS data server available through the related external resources. The model NetCDF files are stored on this trusted digital repository to ensure backup and longevity of these data.

Purpose

This idealized case is utilized to verify the implementation of numerical mixing terms in the model. Because of no horizontal diffusivity and wit the absence of any vertical gradients, the mixing in this test case is entirely numerical.
