Chris, what does i-1 and j-1 in comments below mean?
Aren't uFlux and vFlux at the U/V points, i.e.,
the West/South faces of each cell?

C     uFluxtave    :: zonal surface wind stress (N/m^2,
C                     >0 for increase in uVel, i=1 held at western face)
C     vFluxtave    :: meridional surface wind stress (N/m^2,
C                     >0 for increase in vVel, j=1 held at southern face)

Also, I recently had a look at output code for John.  The two fields
below are also computed on the U and V points, respectively.

C     UUtave       :: uVel * uVel (used to compute the averaged KE)
C     VVtave       :: vVel * vVel (used to compute the averaged KE)

Do you also want pkg/* tave definitions?  For the hi-res cube, that
would include pkg/kpp and pkg/seaice.

D.
