Short summary
This work presents a semi-Lagrangian advection module for the NEMO (OPA) ocean model. Semi-Lagrangian advection transports fluid properties (temperature, salinity, velocity) between time steps by following fluid motion and interpolating from upstream locations of fluid parcels. This method is commonly used in atmospheric models to extend time step size, but it has not previously been applied to operational ocean models. Overcoming this required a new approach for solid boundaries (coastlines).
