Fix to correctly use momentum flux received from CMEPS/FV3ATM for HAFS HYCOM coupling. The momentum flux received from CMEPS/FV3ATM are from sea to air (friction to air). Whereas, the momentum flux expected and used in HYCOM should be air to sea (wind stress). Thus, we need to reverse the sign when retrieving taux/y in NUOPC/hycom_couple.F90.

The fix should be preferably done in CMEPS not in the NUOPC cap for HYCOM. Given additional code required at the CMEPS level , this quick and easy fix would serve the purpose for now.

This looks good to me. Also the explanation makes it very clear why the sign change was necessary. This pull request can be merged.

I believe this makes sense. I think we added taux10 and tauy10 as fields and we can modify them as needed.
