Implementation in CHIMERE of a conservative solver for the advection equation—cmmse10

Extensive research has been performed to solve the advection equation and different numerical methods have been proposed. Most part of these methods including semi-Lagrangian methods are not conservative. In this paper we present the implementation in the European scale Eulerian chemistry transport model CHIMERE of an exactly conservative method for the advection equation. The results of the method are compared with a set of observation sites in the area of Madrid (Spain).
