Advection methods
Currently, advection of momentum is always done by leapfrog centered advection with periodic 'mixing' steps. For tracer advection, three options are available. The first is standard leapfrog centered advection; the second is a 3rd-order upwinding [Leonard] which, although not monotone, will improve monotonicity at a somewhat increased computational cost, and the third, available only in CESM1 POP2, is a one-dimensional Lax-Wendroff with one-dimensional flux limiters.
