USGS employs day light savings time in the following way.
"timeZoneInfo": {
"defaultTimeZone": {
"zoneOffset": "-07:00",
"zoneAbbreviation": "MST"
},
"daylightSavingsTimeZone": {
"zoneOffset": "-06:00",
"zoneAbbreviation": "MDT"
},
"siteUsesDaylightSavingsTime": true}
The timestamps do not include the offset or zone abbreviation. One would assume that the change happens automatically during the calendar year per the scheduled changes.
BASIN-3D does not pass this information on to the users. We currently do not report the UTC offset for USGS data.
