Date range for tide prediction different to date range for images

[phillipjws]

Hello,

I'm just getting acquainted with CoastSat and FES2022 and I am curious as to why in example.py, the date range used for image acquisition is

# date range
dates = ['1984-01-01', '2025-01-01']

and then later in the same file, specifically when using pyfes to predict the tides, the date range is:

# get tides time-series (15 minutes timestep)
date_range = [pytz.utc.localize(datetime(2024,1,1)),
              pytz.utc.localize(datetime(2025,1,1))]
timestep = 900 # seconds

I was trying to run my own trial with a different location, and I used the same dates for both, is the cut due to computation time? Or does the algorithm only need one year of data to adjust the entire dataset?

Thanks

oh that's because I copied it across from the notebook example which only runs one year. You should use same date range for both. I'll fix that.
