In order to make use of the settings for ‘weather forecast data’, the forecasted series must be connected to weather forecast series that use data files in the new fc-format. As a result, if wp-files are used, since they only can hold up to a 100 of the latest weather forecasts, if the availability of the weather observations is restricted, the system will only have access to normal (climate) weather for the evaluated period.
The limits of availability are only fully applied (both when estimating the forecasting models as well as feeding the models with in-data) on series connected to new types of models, that is, Aiolos 2.0, Cilia 2.0, Auxiliary and Zephyros. For other series, only the weather during the forecast period is affected.
