Description
When a file with multi-year data is loaded into DView, it will be loaded with implicit leap days shown in the time-series viewer.
This could be confusing in the following cases:
- The data has no year associated with it, so unclear what DView is generating a leap year based upon.
- The data does not include leap days.
There may be an effort in upcoming months to support more robust leap day support.

Research direction
Start by loading the supplied lifetime_results.zip in DView and inspect how the time-series viewer displays leap days for multi-year data. Trace the viewer's handling of missing year information and datasets without leap days; done means the display no longer presents implicit leap days that are not present or justified by the data.
