[ncl-talk] Issue with cd_calendar

[Andrew Kren - NOAA Affiliate]

Dennis,
I fixed the issue.  Apparently I had to add units to the time variable
after reading it in. I was surprised though because the printVarSummary had
units in it. But when I did the time at units and set it, it worked fine.

Thanks for your help,
