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.
