As imported data are in daily values, the program has to split them into hourly values. It may do this in two ways:

-By constructing a smooth distribution proportional to the Clear Day model  (that is: a clear day with reduced amplitude according to the required daily sum).

-By generating a random distribution according to the Markov matrices, in the same way as when generating synthetic data.

The second method is more realistic, but global simulation results are not very different.
