The **genesis_match_window** entry defines a time window, in hours, relative to the forecast genesis time. When searching for a match, only Best or operational tracks with a track point falling within this time window will be considered. The default time window of 0 requires a Best or operational track to exist at the forecast genesis time for a match to be found. Increasing this time window should lead to an increase in the number matched genesis pairs. For example, setting *beg = -12;* would allow the forecast genesis events to be up to 12 hours early.
