[MITgcm-support] Silly question about pkg/diagnostics

[Dimitris Menemenlis]

Hi Ryan, MITgcm does support true calendar month dumps.
Look at option calendarDumps in pkg/cal

C   calendarDumps :: When set, approximate months (30-31 days) and years (360-372 days)
C                    for parameters chkPtFreq, pChkPtFreq, taveFreq, SEAICE_taveFreq,
C                    KPP_taveFreq, and freq in pkg/diagnostics are converted to exact
C                    calendar months and years.  Requires pkg/cal.
