Not right.
It is fully implemented as per Large and Pond 1981, or Large and  
Yeager 2004.

This should not happen.

There seems to be an inconsistency in what you're trying to do.
external_field_load doesn't use bulk formulae, so it would not be able
to either read uwind, vwind, nor would you be able to compute
hs, hl, from what you're reading (unless you use the bulkf package).

No, exf_iprec does not get overwritten.

Both should work, depending on what your input files are.

Would need more details regarding your setup
(e.g. EXF_OPTIONS.h, data.exf).
