cf.Data.asdatetime

Data.asdatetime(i=False)[source]

Change the internal representation of data array elements from numeric reference times to datatime-like objects.

If the calendar has not been set then the default CF calendar will be used and the units’ and the calendar attribute will be updated accordingly.

If the internal representations are already datatime-like objects then no change occurs.
