Missing day of the year in EC-Earth historical tasmin

[Karen-A-Garcia]

I was preprocessing some data, as I usually am, and it got the following error

esmvalcore.cmor.check.CMORCheckError: There were errors in variable tasmin:
 time: Frequency day does not match input data

• Project: CMIP6
• Full dataset description (fill out as many as you know, please):
  • dataset: EC-Earth3
  • experiment: historical
  • mip: CMIP
  • grid: gr
  • version: 20200201
  • variable used: tasmin

I think the issue comes from the fact that the 2002 file for this run is from Jan 1, 2002 to Dec 30, 2002 and all the other files end on Dec 31. Is there a way to easily fix this with masking to in the metadata? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!

ncdump for the file in question:
