[MITgcm-support] exf pkg

[Eli Biton]

Hi all
Is there any way to set different "repeatPeriod"  when using recycling forcing field via the exf pkg?
For example setting climatological values for sfluxFile (and then repeatPeriod=1year and sfluxPeriod=1month) and hourly values for heat fluxes repeated every day (and then repeatPeriod=1day and sfluxPeriod=1hour).
Another question is: when recycling is omitted (i.e. repeatPeriod =0), it is mining that the forcing file will be activated once for a period of the "FilePeriod" value, starting from FileStartDate (i.e.  FileStartDate1+FileStartDate2 specified in data.exf)?
many thanks, Eli
