No leap year for WRF4.5.1

[htan2013]

Dear all experts,

I am wondering how to setup for no leap year run for WRF4.5.1 now.
I tried adding -DNO_LEAP_CALENDAR in ./configure but it shows "This option is not recognized: -DNO_LEAP_CALENDAR".

Thanks,
HT

Also, I am wondering how to add this option during WPS compilation too. The WPS is also looking for 02/29 while some GCM data doesn't have. Thank you

For a no-leap-year calendar, it can be enabled by adding - DNO_LEAP_CALENDAR to CPPFLAGS in the configure.wps;

To drive WRF model with climate data that does not have leap year, there is a compile option to do that. Edit configure.wrf and
add -DNO_LEAP_CALENDAR to the macro ARCH_LOCAL.

Can you try an older version , for example, WRFV3.9, and see whether the above options work?

Please also save the log file of compiling WRFV4.5.1 for me to take a a look. Thanks.

Yes, the "-DNO_LEAP_CALENDAR" works! Much appreciated!
