8. The tracer budget

The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the tracer budget in the continuum as well as finite volumes. Discrete budgets are described in Section 29.6.6.

8.1 The continuum tracer concentration budget
8.2 Finite volume budget for the total tracer
8.3 Surface tracer flux
8.4 Comments on the surface tracer fluxes
- 8.4.1 Fresh water flux into the free surface model
- 8.4.2 Heat flux into the free surface model
8.5 River runoff
