Hi,

I usually see time variables declared as below:

int Time(Time) ;
    Time:long_name = "time of measurement" ;
    Time:standard_name = "time" ;
    Time:units = "seconds since 2007-11-07 17:54:00 +0000" ;


According to the FAQ, units must be compatible with (that is, convertible to) the canonical units of the standard name. But in the example, "seconds since 2007-11-07 17:54:00 +0000" cannot be converted into "seconds". (according to udunits)

Could a variable with 'time' as its standard name have a unit of the form 'time-unit since timestamp' ?

If the answer is 'no', is there another standard name that should be used ?

Sébastien Charlois
