(1) I want to add that my bulk forcing file has uwnd and vwnd, but it does not have surface wind stress u-stress and v-stress. I am guessing the bulk algorithm calculates u-stress and v-stress using uwnd and vwnd?

(2) Also, wspd is still required to be specified? wspd is not evaluated using uwnd and vwnd at each grid point? I am aware that wspd is required for bulk algorithm. So teh bulk algorith eventually needs wspd.

So my question is: if I am using bulk cpp option, can I only specify uwnd and vwnd and rest will be taken care of?
