Prior to 1972, this time was called Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) but is now referred to as Coordinated Universal Time or Universal Time Coordinated (UTC). It is a coordinated time scale, maintained by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM). It is also known as Z time or Zulu Time.
The time-of-day expressed by UTC is the time at the prime meridian (0Â° longitude) located near Greenwich, England. The time in local time zones can be expressed as an offset from UTC. For instance, in the United States, eastern standard time (EST) is five hours behind UTC and can be expressed as UTC - 5.he Z zone is equivalent to Coordinated Universal time (UTC), which is the time at the prime or zero meridian (0Â° longitude). The phonetic alphabet refers to Z as Zulu. It is still used some settings (i.e. military, nautical and aviation) to refer to UTC.
