Modifying surface wind for G_NORMAL_YEAR experiment

Hello, I am trying to run an ocean-ice experiment with specified wind forcing. My plan is to blend my wind data with the normal year forcing input. I would appreciate it very much if you could help me with the following questions:1. The most straightforward way is to blend my wind data into the NYF input file in the $DIN_LOC_ROOT. I understand that the forcing procedure could be rather complicated, so I wonder if there are other things I need to modify?2. I noiticed that a surface heat flux input file "shf_mm_all_85-88_20010308.ieeer8' is specified in the pop "forcing_shf_nml", and the forcing fomulation is "partially coupled". Should I make some changes here in order for the model to recognize the surface fluxes induced by the specified wind field?3. In the script "shr_flux_mod.F90" the wind stress is calculated with surface wind, but the NYF input file only gives the coupler 10m wind. Is this an approximation? When I blend in my own wind data, should I use surface wind?4. Is there a way to use different coupling frequencies for surface heat fluxes and wind stress, such as using 6-hourly wind and daily heat flux to force the ocean? Thanks in advance!Hui
