Convtime

The Convtime procedure converts 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, IDL, and Perl source. The timestamp is the number of minutes since 01-01-1980 00:00 UTC.

Input

Variable	Lower Bound	Upper Bound
yr	1980	-
mon	1	12
day	1	31
hr	0	23
min	0	59

Output

Variable	Lower Bound	Upper Bound
timestamp	0	MAX_INT

Invtime
