GribQuery.Time Property
Gets or sets the timepoint or time interval that the data is required to be valid for.
Syntax
public AttributeVariable< System.String > Time { get; set; }Property Value
A UTC timepoint using the form: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ or two such timepoints separated by /.
Remarks
Set this property if you only want data that is valid for a specific timepoint or interval. If not set, no data will be discarded based on time.
Examples
Single timepoint: 2021-09-14T13:00:00Z
Interval of a day: 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z/2021-09-15T23:59:59Z
A GRIB file can contain messages for a range of time, like a seven-day weather forecast. Each message specifies the timepoint or time interval for which that message is valid. A seven-day forecast could for example have a single message valid for a whole day, or there could be multiple messages for each day.
A message will be included if its query timepoint/interval overlaps with the timepoint/interval of the query.
Some messages are only valid for a specific timepoint. They will be included by the query if the exact timepoint is specified in the query, or if you use a time interval that overlaps with the message timepoint. As an example, if each message is separated by six hours, you can create an interval that is six hours long, minus a second so that you don't get two messages if the middle of the interval is exactly between two timepoints.
This property does not support all ways of describing time in GRIB files. GRIB edition 2 messages that are valid for a range will only report a single timepoint. If you are having trouble, filter on time directly with attributes using the Condition or contact support for further information.
