Continuity equationMonotonic advection Conservation & Monotonicity Conservative and monotonic tracer transport scheme • Montonoticity: no new maximum/ no new minimum • Consistency: q=1, then tracer eq -> continuity eq.
Two approaches for monotonic transports : Flux limiters: -which constraint the fluxes based on the monotonic subgrid distributions. FluxCorrected transports: - which include the diffusive and antidiffusive stages designed to limit fluxes in strong gradient regions and over smooth parts of solution, the maximum allowable high-order flux is restored to the low-order solution without violating the monotonicity.
Extension of Zalesak FCT to AB3-MFCT scheme Low-order monotone sol: discontinuous function / strong gradients.High-order AB3-sol: smooth function.

Results of FIM medium-range weather forecastsFIM real time forecasts initialized with GFS initial condition at 00 and 12 UTC(comparisons of FIM and GFS 500 mb ACC) • Interpolate GFS initial data to Icosahedral grid. • Perform hydrostatic initialization. • Perform 7-day fcst with dx~30km. • Same initial condition, terrain & sfc parameters, physics package runing at similar model resolutions (dx~30 km)
Same IC, terrain & sfc parameters, physics package, runing at similar model resolutions (dx~30 km) Effect of different numerics, e.g., spectral v.s. finite-volume, on tracer transports.
A generalMFCTtracer algorithm is developed to achieve conservative and monotonic transports in any multistep dynamical cores which provide mass fluxes by which tracers are transported. AB3-MFCThas been implemented on our Icosahedral SWM and tested with continuous and discontinuous analytical test cases as well as real time medium range weather forecasts. The advection accuracy to the monotonic constraint ? Final remarks
