Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s)

set the values of the time dimension in a netCDF file

modifyNcdfWriteTime(ncdf.obj, date.vec = "auto", 
    origin = ISOdatetime(1582, 10, 15, 0, 
        0, 0, tz = "UTC"), write.to.ncdf = TRUE, 
    timeVar = "time", user = Sys.info()["user"])

`ncdf.obj`	character string or ncdf connection: ncdf file for which to convert the dates
`date.vec`	POSIXct vector: date vectors for the time dimension. If set to 'auto', this is tried to be extracted from the ncdf file. This supports converting the time unit in a netCDF file to a days since origin.
`origin`
`write.to.ncdf`	logical: whether writing time to the ncdf file.
`timeVar`	variable holding the values of time
`user`	user name in history attribute entry

Set a time vector in a ncdf file to a standardized format which is readable by most software. It transfers the time vector to days since the start of the Gregorian calendar.

(invisibly): the time vector in ncdf-format. Additionally the time vector is written to the respective file.
