[MITgcm-support] EXF package: useExfYearlyFields=.FALSE.

[Dimitris Menemenlis]

P.S.:

1)  the routine where repeatperiod is used is called exf_getffieldrec.F

2) you can increase diagnostic output by setting debuglevel=3 in data  
PARM01

3) what is not yet implemented is useExfYearlyFields=.TRUE. and  
repeatPeriod.gt.0
