Conservation properties of an offline global tracer advection model and the evolution of the chemical background state

This thesis investigates the conservation properties of a 3D global tracer advection model and how the model output can be used in the development of a tracer-relative chemical transport model (CTM). The global tracer advection scheme is based on the finite volume NIRVANA scheme. Shape preservation...
