- A constituent can be **advected**, which means it is moved through the atmosphere by some sort of dynamical method

- The **dynamical core** (dycore) is the part of an atmosphere model (like CAM-SIMA) that advects the quantities over the underlying grid. Dynamical cores include:

- volume mixing ratio: constituent values are a ratio of how much of the constituent exists per mole of air (units = mol mol-1)

- mass mixing ratio: constituent values are the mass of the constituent per unit volume (kg m-3)
