Description
The global budget of any tracer should be closed in NEMO provided key_vvl is activated (and with Asselin filtering or not, forcing or not, cf Leclair and Madec, 2009). Although not related to this ticket, we expect this is to be true as long as one sticks with a leapfrog time stepping for the free surface (ie ln_bt_fw=false with key_dynspg_ts. If ln_bt_fw=true, one trades global conservation in favor of constancy preservation).
Testing this for salinity in ORCA2 (without ice model for simplicity), I found that the use of trabbl breaks down this principle.

Here is a plot to illustrate the non conservation issues found with key_dynspg_flt in ORCA2. I have added a test with or without ln_rnf relative to the last comment made in ticket #1540. Perfect conservation is indeed achieved without the diffusive bbl and runoffs. Fixes to come soon.
