HI,
So I had some sloppy code in my catalogs (I had two featureCollections
with the same name DOH!), which was cleaned up and subsequently
cleaned up the "hours since 1970-2-2" date I was getting. However, I'm
still not getting what I want for the time units. Right now, the
pertinent lines from my catalog looks like this:
<featureCollection name="HFRADAR US West Coast 6km Resolution
Hourly RTV test" featureType="FMRC" harvest="true"
path="TEST/USWC/6km/hourly/RTV">
<metadata inherited="true">
<documentation type="Summary">HFRADAR US West Coast 6km
Resolution Hourly Combined Total Vectors (RTV)</documentation>
<serviceName>allServices</serviceName>
</metadata>
<collection
spec="/exports/RTV/USWC/**/2018#MMddHHmm#_hfr_uswc_6km_rtv_uwls_SIO.nc$"/>
<update startup="true" rescan="0 30 * * * ? *" trigger="allow"/>
<fmrcConfig regularize="false" datasetTypes="Best"/>
<netcdf
xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2";>
<variable name="time">
<attribute name="units" value="seconds since
1970-01-01 00:00:00.000 UTC"/>
</variable>
</netcdf>
</featureCollection>
</dataset>
Now my time unit reads:
"units: hours since 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000 UTC"
getting closer! But I'm hoping to get seconds since 1970-1-1
THANKS!
Tom
