Importance of dates.json and dataset with several seasons

[a1gys]

Hello, @VSainteuf

I have two questions regarding the dataset

1. I am going to train the model for dataset that contains the same fields with different seasons (year X, year X+1). So, is it okay if I create dataset names as "id_year.npy" to differentiate between different years?
2. What is the reason behind differences in dates in dates.json? As I understand, the delta between two consecutive dates are varying, does it affect the model somehow? Also, if I create dataset as I mentioned in the first question, how can I adjust year number in dates.json? Can it be any arbitrary year as only the days matter in calculating differences?

Thank you for your response in advance
