[ncl-talk] UTC to Local time conversion

[Barry Lynn]

Hi:

I am not sure of a simple way to do it.  You could create more than one
time_var for each time zone, and then code that in.

Anyway, I am not sure if this would help.

    new_time_units = "hours since 1800-01-01 00:00"

    new_time_units = new_time_units

    new_time_array = cd_inv_calendar( year(it_val),  month(it_val),
day(it_val), hour(it_val), minute(it_val), 0, new_time_units,0)


    it_val = it_val +it_inc

    print("new_time_array = " + new_time_array)



    format = "%H%M IST %d %c %Y"

    new_time_array = new_time_array + 2

    time_var=cd_string(new_time_array,format)

    print("time_var = " + time_var)
