[ncl-talk] About local time (UTC+9)

[Dave Allured - NOAA Affiliate]

Soares,

The function cd_inv_string is in the next NCL release.  It is not available
in the current release 6.3.0.  That is why you are getting a syntax error.

If your data already has date/time in numeric format as hours since XXX,
then you might be able to directly subtract the offset and use cd_string to
print the times that you want.
