parseInit: Parse init dates

In Predictia/metaclipR.qa4seas: Extend METACLIP to the QA4Seas prototype

Description

Interpret the initialization codes to readable dates (with obvious limitations, see Details)

Usage

parseInit(init, model.type, par.list)

Arguments

init	Initialization time, as defined in the parameter file (fcXXXX)
model.type	Type of model. Accepted values are either "forecast" or "hindcast"
par.list	Parameter list, as directly read from the parameter yaml file

Details

The function will return the initialization time at the month level, assuming the first of each month (note that proper initialization times should provide subdaily detail, but these won't be used by the QA4Seas prototype).

Value

A Date-class vector of initialization dates (this will have length one in the case of operative forecasts).
