get_time

Times in NetCDF data are generally given in form of a time step and a time
unit. This function uses both information to convert them to POSIXct 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 (<https://www.cmsaf.eu>). It is a joint cooperation of eight
National Meteorological and Hydrological Services.
The 'cmsafops' R-package provides a collection of R-operators for the analysis and
manipulation of CM SAF NetCDF formatted data. Other CF conform NetCDF data with time,
longitude and latitude dimension should be applicable, but there is no guarantee for
an error-free application.
CM SAF climate data records are provided for free via (<https://wui.cmsaf.eu/safira>).
Detailed information and test data are provided on the CM SAF webpage
(<http://www.cmsaf.eu/R_toolbox>).
