Dear Ansley,
Please find attached ncdump -c information of a file that I am giving as an input aerosol data to my GFDL CM2.1 model and it is using julian calendar with proper month lengths. I need this format of calendar because model is not working with standard calendar. Thanks, Mubashar Date: Thu, 2 Jan 2014 09:58:00 -0800 From: ansley.b.manke@xxxxxxxx To: couragetoknowgc@xxxxxxxxxxx; ferret_users@xxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [ferret_users] Writting a sample netcdf file with Julian calendar (unit=days) Hi Mubashar You want to define an irregularly-spaced axis, so that the months have the right number of days for each. This is discussed under the heading "calendar" in the Users Guide, In the index see, CALENDAR, DEFINE AXIS/CALENDAR. http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/users-guide/commands-reference/DEFINE#_VPINDEXENTRY_1306 and particularly, scroll down in that section to the part about using /EDGES to make a true monthly axis. Noted in that same section there is a script that will define a monthly axis in units of days, for the standard Gregorian calendar, the NOLEAP, ALL_LEAP, and 360-day calendars. yes? go/help def_monthaxis_days Now, for a Julian calendar, the logic doesn't quite work. One could think of make February 28.25 days long, but then the months after February would start not at hour 00 but elsewhere. I suppose there could be a 4-year calendar defined with all of the correct month lengths. Can your work possibly use the Gregorian calendar? Ansley On 1/2/2014 5:45 AM, Star Physicist
