Improving the inter-hemispheric gradient of total column atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub> in simulations with the ECMWF semi-Lagrangian atmospheric global model

It is a widely established fact that standard semi-Lagrangian advection schemes are highly efficient numerical techniques for simulating the transport of atmospheric tracers. However, as they are not formally mass conserving, it is essential to use some method for restoring mass conservation in long...
