An example of a season is shown in the above picture. A year is divided in 4 periods, each period containing three months of data. To enter this in the HYMOS database, enter the start date of the first period under start date and the end date (date not included) under end date. HYMOS will copy the end date of the first period to the start date of the second period, therefore you have to enter only the end date of the second period, etc..
