[Go-essp-tech] Are daily data always noleap?

[Kettleborough, Jamie]

Hello,
 
not sure if this is quite the right thing to do but I added this to the
FAQ that Stephen is putting together...
http://esgf.org/wiki/CMIP5HelpDeskFAQ.  Feel free to remove if I did the
wrong thing.
 
But this begs the question who is responsible for maintaining the FAQ. I
don't think the answer can be 'the community', I think some one has to
take some sort of responsibility for reviewing content, spotting double
questions/answers, deciding whether a question/answer is worth including
etc.  (I'm *not* volunteering)

	Hi Jennifer,
	
	No.  There are certainly some models with realistic calendars.
There is a "calendar" attribute in each file which specifies the type,
so you'll have to consult that.  (See the CF-conventions for calendar
definitions.)
