+Further examples:\\
+Setting model-start time to 14th May 1995 at 16:30 CEST: '''1995-05-14 16:30:00 +02'''\\
+Same time, but using UTC: '''1995-05-14 14:30:00 +00'''\\
+Same time, but using PST (American Pacific Standard Time): '''1995-05-14 06:30:00 -08'''\\
+Same time, but using AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time): '''1995-05-15 02:30:00 +10'''

+Note, that PALM always uses UTC internally. If you specify a time zone different from UTC, the time is converted internally to UTC. Output will always use UTC.
