Thank you very much, Jaison!

Yes, as I've understood correctly, I just need to write smth like

setreftime,date,time[,units]  file.nc fileout.nc

But then what do I need to write into "date" and "time" and to [units]?
Maybe first I need to use this settunits to define relative time axis?

Danke im Voraus!)

It depends on what you want:

From the docs:

_date_

STRING Date (format: YYYY-MM-DD) 

_time_   

STRING Time (format: hh:mm:ss)

_units_

STRING Base units of the time axis (seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years) 

just try it ...

Cheers,

Dear Jaison!

Thank you very-very much for quick answer!
I tried it and it works:

Just I had:
double time(time) ;
time:standard_name = "time" ;
time:units = "day as %Y%m%d.%f" ;
time:calendar = "proleptic_gregorian" ;

But after I changed settaxis and setunits to "hours"
I have:
double time(time) ;
time:standard_name = "time" ;
time:units = "hours since 1515-01-01 18:00:00" ;
time:calendar = "proleptic_gregorian"

So, I hope, it means, that now in my new .nc file I have time in hours since 1515-01-01,
so just numbers, not in a date-format.

p.s. am I right?)
