Indri,
Please keep the conversation on the mailing list by using CC or Reply All.
The attributes that you highlighted are simple text strings, which are easy
to change. This can be done on the unix command line with no programming,
with freeware packages such as *NCO* (NetCDF Operators). There are several
examples in the description of the *ncatted* utility (attribute editor) in
the *NCO* documentation:
http://nco.sourceforge.net/nco.html#ncatted-netCDF-Attribute-Editor
Here is an example that might work on your actual data file:
ncatted -h -a START_DATE,global,o,c,'2099-01-01_18:00:00' \
-a SIMULATION_START_DATE,global,o,c,'2099-01-01_18:00:00' filename.nc
I am sure there is also an easy way to do this in python. Perhaps one of
the python programmers here can give an example.
