> How can we obtain the exact month, day, year, hour, min, sec from the ncdfTime created above? I tried to use the CALDAT but it is giving some crazy numbers for each of them. I am asking this because in order to plot the variables as a function of time, the jultime is more difficult to say about which day it corresponds to. Do you have any better suggestion?

No other suggestions. CalDat works great. You just have to do the
reverse of what you have done previously. Convert seconds to Julian
days, add Julday(1,1,1970,0,0,0) to that result, and put that through
the CalDat function. I've never known it to go wrong. :-)

Cheers,

David
