TIMES2MATLAB Converts the 'Times' variable from a FVCOM output file to Matlab serial dates. This isn't gonna work if the FVCOM model isn't using Julian dates. Input: 'Times' variable, already read from a FVCOM netCDF output file. Output: Array of Matlab serial date numbers, one for each timestep.
0001 function [ sdTimes ] = Times2Matlab( Times ) 0002 %TIMES2MATLAB Converts the 'Times' variable from a FVCOM output file to 0003 %Matlab serial dates.
