example_FVCOM_wind_ts_speed

 example file for FVCOM, time-varying/spatially constant wind forcing as speed

 function example_FVCOM_wind_ts_speed

 DESCRIPTION:
    Write a time-varying, spatially constant wind file
    This is TEMPLATE program to be used as an example
    Do not commit your user-defined programs to the repository
    It requires USER Modification to work
