• Invtime
  The Invtime procedures convert the minute timestamp used in the SAMOS Ship NetCDF back into a standard year/month/day/hour/minute time. These codes were developed during WOCE and are available in C, FORTRAN, and IDL source. The timestamp is the number of minutes since 01-01-1980 00:00 UTC.

• Convtime
  The Convtime procedures convert a standard year/month/day/hour/minute time into the minute timestamp used in the SAMOS Ship NetCDF. These codes were developed during WOCE and are available in C, FORTRAN, and IDL source. The timestamp is the number of minutes since 01-01-1980 00:00 UTC.

• True Winds
  The True Winds procedures compute meteorological true winds (direction from which the wind is blowing, relative to true north; and the speed relative to the fixed earth) from input course, heading, ship spped, and ship-relative wind speed and direction. They are available in C, FORTRAN, and IDL source along with test I/O.
