[MITgcm-support] external forcing wind

Hi Manfredi,

Sorry for the delay in answering you, but these days were quite intense.
I tried to NOT specify the two boolean variables in the data.darwin
namefile, so now darwin_useEXFwind" is FALSE for default. Then I've left
there only my wind speed file for the gas exchange as Christoph suggested,
while I left the physics forcing wind in the data namefile.

Now it seems to work and it doesn't return the warning related to the
constant wind.

I want to do a double-check by looking at the diagnostic output. I will let
you know if all works properly.

Thank you very much for the help.

Best regards

Francesco
