We introduce a WENO reconstruction based on Hermite interpolation both for
semi-Lagrangian and finite difference methods. This WENO reconstruction
technique allows to control spurious oscillations. We develop third and fifth
order methods and apply them to non-conservative semi-Lagrangian schemes and
conservative finite difference methods. Our numerical results will be compared
to the usual semi-Lagrangian method with cubic spline reconstruction and the
classical fifth order WENO finite difference scheme. These reconstructions are
observed to be less dissipative than the usual weighted essentially non-
oscillatory procedure. We apply these methods to transport equations in the
context of plasma physics and the numerical simulation of turbulence phenomena
