ACCESS driver does not support years > 9999 #305

Open aidanheerdegen opened 3 years ago

aidanheerdegen commented 3 years ago

The cice model when used in theaccess driver does not support years > 9999 because it relies on python datetime.datetime which has a maximum year of 9999

This limitation was first discovered in accessom2

https://github.com/payu-org/payu/issues/303

As that driver does not require this calendar manipulation a fix was put in place to remove that logic from accessom2 runs.

The access driver is used by access-esm, so this limit will apply to any of those runs until it is fixed.
