the heat flux deficit and water flux surplus files have names like:
soda3.XX.X_10dy_heat_flux_dfct_1x1.nc
soda3.XX.X_10dy_water_flux_surplus_1x1.nc 
They were created by JAC in two stages using routines contained in: 
/aosc/indian/carton/soda3/deficits

Stage 1) grads scripts heat_flux_dfct_mld_sodaXXXX.gs and 
water_flux_dfct_mld_sodaXXXX.gs were run to create 1x1x10dy binary files
containing mixed layer heat flux deficit and mixed layer freshwater surplus
sodaXXXXheat_flux_dfct.grd, sodaXXXXwater_flux_dfct.grd.
Then I ran the cdo commands
cdo -b F32 -f nc4 import_binary sodaXXXXshrt_10dy_heat_flux_dfct_1x1.ctl sodaXXXXshrt_10dy_heat_flux_dfct_1x1.nc
cdo -b F32 -f nc4 import_binary sodaXXXXshrt_10dy_water_flux_dfct_1x1.ctl sodaXXXXshrt_10dy_water_flux_dfct_1x1.nc
to create separate heat flux deficit and water flux surplus netcdf files
