Description

This has been a part of the Large & Pond flux scheme in `shr_flux_mod` for a long time, but it's worth noting that right now the neutral equivalent 10m wind speed (`u10n`) is sent to the atm and ocn models. This is the necessary field for the ocean to compute gas exchanges, but it leads to inconsistency for the atmosphere since CTSM shares a stability-corrected version of U10.

We propose to implement a fix that continues sending the traditional u10n to the ocean but a stability corrected version to the atmosphere. This is separate from the gustiness project, but we have a modification that I'm trying to implement now on top of cmeps0.14.60. Will open a PR when it's ready to go.
