get_time

Time unit, which is conform to the CF convention (character).

time.unit

Time steps in form of a numeric or integer vector.

time.step

Times in NetCDF data are generally given in form of a time step and 
a time unit. This functions uses both information to convert them to
POSIXct time values.

The Satellite Application Facility on Climate Monitoring (CM SAF)
is a ground segment of the European Organization for the Exploitation of
Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) and one of EUMETSATs Satellite Application
Facilities. The CM SAF contributes to the sustainable observing of the climate
system by providing essential climate variables related to the energy and water
cycle of the atmosphere (<http://www.cmsaf.eu>). It is a joint cooperation of seven
National Meteorological and Hydrological Services.
The 'cmsaf' R-package provides a collection of R-operators for the analysis and
manipulation of CM SAF NetCDF formatted data. The 'cmsaf' R-package is tested
for CM SAF NetCDF data, which are structured in three-dimensional arrays
(longitude, latitude, time) on a rectangular grid. Layered CM SAF data have to
be converted with the provided levbox_mergetime() function. The 'cmsaf' R-package
operators have only minor checks for deviations from the recommended data structure,
and give only few specific error messages.
Scripts for an easy application of the 'cmsaf' package operators and the preparation
and visualization of CM SAF NetCDF data are provided at the CM SAF webpage
(<http://www.cmsaf.eu/EN/Products/Tools/Tools_node.html>).

get_time: Convert time steps to POSIXct.
