  plot_meas_sim(meas, sim, series = NULL, chart.start,
    chart.end, date.format = "ymd", missing_code = NA,
    wait = 1, plot.leg = TRUE, leg.pos = "bottomright")

`meas`	measured hourly values file (table), where the first column is the series' ID
`sim`	simulated hourly list (output of Th_int_series)
`series`	names of the seris to plot. If `NULL`, plots all the series
`chart.start`	start date for the plotting. Format example: "1Jan2000"
`chart.end`	end date for the plotting. Format example: "1Jan2000"
`date.format`	input date format for measurements (formats for function `chron`). Default is "ymd"
`missing_code`	code (either real or character) for missing values in measurements. Default is `NA`
`wait`	lag time (seconds) between plot appearance on the screen (default is 1 second)
`plot.leg`	logical: if `TRUE` (default) legends are plotted
`leg.pos`	position of legends (only if `plot.leg` = `TRUE`). Default is "bottomright". Values for `par` can be passed to function

A plot with two curves: measured values and hourly interpolations

If daily minimum and maximum values are the absolute ones for each day, the interpolated curve will be generally either higher (maximum) or lower (minimum) than hourly measurements, which are mean hourly values (hence, slightly lower and higher than the absolute daily ones, respectively). This may explain an apparent mismatch between the two curves.
