It could be superior over the existing 3 available vertical advection schemes in NEMO (cen2, muscl, and tvd), at least in the sense that it is one order higher.  We will add an option to invoke the vertical PPM under the configurations of all the 6 available horizontal advection schemes in NEMO. As long as the horizontal advection doesn't exhaust a 3-d cell, the vertical ppm can even work with Courant Number > 1. This will be a good property for the s-coordinate. Also, it is good for the calculation of the advection of a discontinous field, such as thermocline, front.
