Ocean Modeling Discussion

Hi John, thanks for your reply. Generally speaking, in method B you need to subtract the mass of tracer at the start, but that is zero for this specific set up, right? Correct, in this setup the starting mass of tracer is zero in the region I am summing over, which is everywhere onshore of the shelf...

Hi everyone, I am trying to calculate how much of a passive tracer crosses from offshore to onshore of the shelf-break, and I have calculated this using two different methods. These methods give different answers by a factor of 3, which shouldn't be the case (I think), so I am wondering if I am doin...
