JM, thanks for taking care of this. I prefer all your 1rst choices below.
> oceTAUX, oceTAUY <- replace TAUX,TAUY
> oceQnet (or oceQNET) new, Qnet diagnostics
> oceQsw (or oceQSW) <- replace SWFLUX
> oceFWflx (or oceEmPmR) new, EmPmR diagnostics
> (prefer the 1rst one since melting/freezing contribution is included)
> oceSflux (or SaltFlux) new, saltFlux diagnostics
> (prefer the 1rst one, consistent with the others diags.)
To make sure that I understand:
1) oceQnet is surfaceForcingT rescaled? Is it or is it not identical to TFLUX?
2) oceSflux is exactly what SFLUX was prior to 7 nov 06?
3) surfaceForcingS is the "sum" of oceFWflx and oceSflux, where oceSflux
includes SRELAX and also virtual salt fluxes when model is driven with virtual
salt fluxes?

OK.

oceFreez ?
