Hi Stephanie,

yes, file DFOsflux contains variable SFLUX.
Jean-Michel wrote a nice summary of the exact contents of various
forcing variables, see
MITgcm/doc/diags_changes.txt

I think you're actually using the OCCA product, so Gael should confirm,
but your case is "useRealFreshWaterFlux=F" and so
  SLFUX = surForcS = oceSflux + SRELAX - [PmEpR*So]

EmPmR gets modified under ice in S/R pkg/seaice/seaice_growth.F

-Patrick
