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

[isakhar sakhar isakhar]

Dear Mr.Rick

That is I mean, I want to use the ntimes to call cd_string because of my
wrfout file is in UTC but I want to get the output result in UTC+9.
I have active load above my script but it does not change anything.

Any help will appreciate,

Regards,
Soares
