Weather and Fault Statistics for Semester 97B

The following tables present the weather loss and fault loss for semester 97B. A more detailed description of how these tables are created is also available here.

B(hrs) 13.0 0.0 1.3 0.0 0.0 0.0 11.8

Table 2: JCMT fault statistics. Wherever possible the faults are categorised into ANT = antenna; INS = instrument; COMP = computer hardware; SOFT = software; CAR = carousel; with the remainder going to OTH = other. The figures in the table m ay not appear to add up correctly due to rounding in the original program. P defines the time lost from Primary projects. The category B(hrs) is the time lost to Backup projects.
