 * `startDate`: Optional character string in the form "Year-month-day" (e.g. `"1950-01-01"`) indicating the starting day of the time series to retrieve. Default to first record available.
 * `endDate`: Optional character string in the form "Year-month-day" (e.g. `"2000-12-31"`) indicating the last day of the time series to retrieve. Default to last record available.
+* `season`: Optional. A vector of integers specifying the desired season (in months, January=1 ...). Options include one to several months. If NULL (the default), the function will return all records within the interval defined by `startDate` and `endDate`. For instance, period = c(12,1,2) will retrieve the data series for the standard boreal winter (DJF), period = 6:8 for summer (JJA) and so on. See details.

 The dictionary is the table that translates the variable as stored in the dataset to the standard variables defined in the vocabulary. More details [https://www.meteo.unican.es/trac/meteo/wiki/SpecsEuporias/RPackage/ here]

+In the case of boreal winter selection (`season=c(12,1,2)`) the function will tie strictly to the time interval defined by the `startDate`and `endDate` arguments, and therefore will not retrieve data from the previous December, nor from the next January and February before/after the start/end years defined (this has a different behaviour than `loadSystem4`, which is more specifically oriented to seasonal forecast data.)
