Inherent Dissipation of Upwind‐Biased Potential Temperature Advection and its Feedback on Model Dynamics

Abstract Higher order upwind‐biased advection schemes are often used for potential temperature advection in dynamical cores of atmospheric models. The inherent diffusive and antidiffusive fluxes are interpreted here as the effect of irreversible sub‐gridscale dynamics. For those, total energy conser...
