incorrect time label by roms plotting package?

#1 Unread post by leonjld »

the time label showed by ccnt is incorrect. Changing the year and yearday of the first line in the ccnt input file does not change the time label. Did I miss something?

it seems that the plotting program looks for an attribute called 'calender' in the variable dstart or ocean_time. If the value is 'gregorian', it will just ignore the specified year and day in the input file and take dstart as a modified julian date with base time being 1958/5/23. Otherwise it will use the specified year and day in the input file as a base time.
