[NARCCAP-discuss] HRM3-GFDL future time data

[Walters, Kelli Michelle]

Hi Seth and NARCCAP users,

I am using the HRM3-GFDL future data (precip) and noticed that the future
dataset seems to start on 12/15/2037 instead of 01/01/2038 like all the
rest of the models. The other models I am using state that the time starts
counting from 1/1/2038, but the HRM3-GFDL model says that it starts at
01/01/1968 (like for the current data). When I add the time value to that
start date, the data begins at 12/15/2037.

If I bump the data to begin on 01/01/2038 like the other models, then it
ends on 12/23/2070 like the other models as well, which leads me to believe
the starting date is just off.

Does anyone know if the date information was somehow shifted or should it
really be starting on 12/15/2037? Or am I maybe calculating something wrong
with the dates? I am just using excel to add the date value (ex. 25551) to
the starting date.

Any help or information is appreciated.
Thank you,
Kelli
