Calendar issue in CMEPS

[dougiesquire]

Running the MOM6-CICE6/1deg_jra55do_ryf configuration today (29/02/2024) gives the following:

This error is occurring here. I think the issue is that CMEPS is trying to get the wall clock time using the default calendar set here, which is NOLEAP in the RYF configuration. This means that things should work again tomorrow (and any other day in the next four years...).

I'll confirm that this is the issue and then open and issue with ESCOMP/CMEPS.

Strong candidate to be my all-time favorite bug.

Hope they can respond quickly or it'll take another 4 years to show the fix works 😄

Issue opened here: ESCOMP/CMEPS#432

Haha, at least the Americans have the rest of their day to fix it!

[dougiesquire]

Note, this issue is fixed in cmeps>=0.14.55

Just noting that the latest access-om3 update #129 only upgraded CMEPS: 0.14.35 -> 0.14.50 so this remains an issue for us.

[dougiesquire]

Hopefully we're using > 0.14.55 by the time this becomes a problem again on 29/02/2028 😉

The clock is ticking 😰
