Details

Using a NULL value for yr gives the fractional julian day in a year. If yr is a legitimate year, and the origyr is provided, then the EPOCH number of days from origyr are added onto the fractional julian day. The default for origyr is 1972 for most of seismology.

If the dates span a new year, sometimes it is useful to use the earliest year as the origyr.
