 Because of this time-step approach the physical time chosen at ''n=1'' is very important.
 
-All this is done independently from the physical time for which the values of the forcing at ''n-1'' and ''n'' are valid over. This poses no problem for instantaneous variables in the forcing file as then the indexing space (''n'') and the physical time are identical.
+The time-stepping is done independently from the physical time. Thus it is the choice of the physical time at ''n=1'' which will determine at which dates the values of the forcing at ''n-1'' and ''n'' are valid. This poses no problem for instantaneous variables in the forcing file as then the indexing space (''n'') and the physical time are identical.
 
 The issue becomes more complicated when we consider fluxes which are averaged over an interval. We can only make the assumption that the time corresponding to index ''n'' is within the time interval of the average. But we in readim2.f90 we have no way of knowing if it is at the start, end or anywhere else.
