[MITgcm-support] exf: river temperature?

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Dimitri.

When I run a coupled set-up, time dependent river temperature
is accounted for by using, for the ocean:
 exactConserv=.TRUE.,
 select_rStar=2,
 nonlinFreeSurf=4,
 useRealFreshWaterFlux=.TRUE.,
 temp_EvPrRn=0.,
(see MITgcm/verification/cpl_aim+ocn/input_ocn/data)
And in addition, in the atmospheric model, the heat content of EmPmR 
is added separately to the net surface heat flux. 

Regarding an ocean only set-up (using, e.g., EXF package), 
I don't remember of a specific entry for this heat flux in the EXF 
package. May be the simplest thing to do would be to add this heat 
flux contribution to one of the fixed EXF forcing fields (and files).
