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

values. For the unit 'months since' an approximation of 30.4375 d is used!

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 monitoring 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 eight
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. Other CF conform NetCDF data should be applicable, but there
is no guarantee for an error-free application.
The 'cmsaf' R-package includes a 'shiny' based interface for an easy application of
the 'cmsaf' package operators and the preparation and visualization of CM SAF NetCDF
data. CM SAF climate data records are provided for free via (<https://wui.cmsaf.eu>).
Detailed information and test data are provided on the CM SAF webpage
(<http://www.cmsaf.eu/R_toolbox>).
