Research direction

Start by reviewing PR 278 for the existing enthalpy-field pattern and PR 463 for the glc-to-ocn coupling through MOSART. Trace how Foxx_hrofl and Foxx_hrofi are computed, then determine where the corresponding Foxx_rofl_glc and Foxx_rofi_glc values must be provided to OCN. Done means both heat-content fields are computed consistently and available for the MOM6 change referenced in the issue.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Following the implementation of glc->ocn coupling via going through mosart (https://github.com/ESCOMP/CMEPS/pull/463), the heat content (or enthalpy) associated with these fields must be computed and provided to OCN. here is a PR that can be used as an example of adding enthalpy fields in CMEPS.

For now, we can compute Foxx_rofl_glc following what's done for Foxx_hrofl. Similarly for Foxx_rofi_glc and Foxx_hrofi.

These changes are needed for https://github.com/NCAR/MOM6/pull/288
