Class CalendarDateUnit

java.lang.Object

ucar.nc2.time.CalendarDateUnit

@Immutable
public class CalendarDateUnit
extends Object

A Calendar Date Unit: "unit since date"

 UNIT since [-]Y[Y[Y[Y]]]-MM-DD[(T| )hh[:mm[:ss[.sss*]]][ [+|-]hh[[:]mm]]]

 UNIT = "msecs" | "msec" |
          "seconds" | "second" | "secs" | "sec" | "s" |
          "minutes" | "minute" | "mins" | "min" |
          "hours" | "hour" | "hrs" | "hr" | "h" |
          "days" | "day" | "d"
 

"months since base_date by calendar field" "years since base_date by calendar field" bob simon's proposal: "calendar_month since base_date" "calendar_year since base_date" * only integer values are allowed (?) jon blowers comment: In your view would the solution to add "by calendar field" to the existing udunits string be acceptable? It’s backward-compatible with the current interpretation and adds clarification for the cases in which we *do* want to do calendar-field arithmetic (instead of adding fixed intervals). There’s an alternative proposition, in which the new units of calendar_month and calendar_year are added, with the same semantic effect. (However, personally I like the "by calendar field" solution since it allows other fields to vary between calendars, e.g. because of leap-seconds.)
