  subroutine neutral(u10_mps,ustar_mps,obklen_m, &
          u10n_mps )
  !-----------------------------------------------------------------------	
  ! subroutine to compute u10 neutral wind speed
  ! inputs
  ! u10_mps - wind speed at 10 m (m/s)
  ! ustar_mps - friction velocity (m/s)
  ! obklen_m - monin-obukhov length scale (m)
  ! outputs
  ! u10n_mps - wind speed at 10 m under neutral conditions (m/s)
  ! following code assumes reference height Z is 10m, consistent with use
  ! of u10 and u10_neutral.  If not, code
  ! should be changed so that constants of 50. and 160. in equations
  ! below are changed to -5 * Z and -16 * Z respectively.

  ! subroutine written Feb 2001 by eg chapman
  ! adapted to LMD-ZT by E. Cosme 310801
  ! Following Will Shaw (PNL, Seattle) the theory applied for flux
  ! calculation with the scheme of Nightingale et al. (2000) does not
  ! hold anymore when -1<obklen<20. In this case, u10n is set to 0,
  ! so that the transfer velocity  computed in nightingale.F will also
  ! be 0. The flux is then set to 0.
