Patrick,

I am sorry about the exf_getyearlyfieldname and not updating  
exf_ad_diff.list
Apparently I still don't understand the logic of the surface flux  
control variable and why details of the calendar and reading part of  
the exf package actually affect the adjoint, when the control  
variables are really the deviations from the forcing fields.
