dear All I am working on a netcdf file in order to change the value of the "double" variable "time_counter" to the following value: 3882902400 (seconds ellapsed from Jan 01 1900 00:00:00). In order to do that, I am using the following command: ncap2 -s 'time_counter=3882902400' file_in.nc file_out.nc but the output is quite unsuccessful since: -the variable is changed from "double" to "int" -the value assumed by the (now "int") is completely different from the required one (-411978496). suggestions...
