Hi Jon,
The FMRC code always determines the valid time of the data by opening
the data file and looking at the time coordinates for the data. The run
time, on the other hand, needs to be given either in the file name or
elsewhere in the data, in a global attribute for instance.
How is the run time encoded in these files? Can you send us some example
datasets?
Thanks,
Ethan
