Julian way of writing a constructor

As a side note, your MVectors are still mutable even if the State as a whole is not mutable. Thus, if the scalars do not have to be mutable (or if only a a few of them have), you may better choose to use an immutable struct.

(mutating a scalar in an overall immutable struct requires some strategy of the ones described here)

Also, Parameters offers the @unpack macro, which can be used with, for example:

@unpack v_wind, area = s

where s is of type State, in a function that you might be using only these two variables among all those contained in the struct.
