Fortran 95 Module julian_date Description

The module julian contains some routines which manipulate Julian Dates. Included are routines to convert from year, month, day to Julian Date and vice versa. Also included are day of the week calculations. Since Julian Dates follow the old astronomical convention of the day starting at noon, routines to convert from civil to astronomical convention and back are provided. There's also a calendar to solar (eighth of the day, day within the eighth of the year) formats. This module uses module standard_types, which may be obtained from the Portability Project pages.
