Christian Eckert, MIT/EAPS, May-2000

This calendar tool was originally intended to enable the use of absolute dates (Gregorian Calendar dates) in the ocean general circulation model MITgcmuv. There is, however, a fair amount of routines that can be used independently of the MITgcmuv. After some minor modifications the whole package can be used either as a stand-alone calendar or in connection with any dynamical model that needs calendar dates. Some straightforward extensions are still pending e.g. the availability of the Julian Calendar, to be able to resolve fractions of a second, and to have a time- step that is longer than one day.
