what's so special about this hs/hl? what are you trying to study/achieve?

Dear Dimitris Menemenlis,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I understand that for the default configuration of EXF I need to use ustress, vstress (from 10m winds) and hflux, swflux and sflux.  However, I don't have any fluxes (e.g. shortwave or long wave, precipitaion etc.) other than HS and HL.  In such a scenario, I can compute hflux as the sum of HS and HL. But what I should do for the other fluxes (swflux, sflux etc.). Should I use some climatology or simply zero?

regards,
Abhisek
