20020125 report

New inclinometry data


Poor weather allowd us to gather a regular CW run during the morning hours :

    Datasets El Dirn     HST     mean leg temperatures   Humidity
                        start      start   middle   end       %
    20020113 90 cw       18:31      8.0      7.3    7.0      45
    20020125 90 cw       06:05     -0.8     -0.5   -0.3      65

  • The new data at are again of full amplitude - i.e. showing no sign of the 'small-amplitude' syndrome captured on 17 Oct.

  • The difference between the model resulting from the new data and those from 13 Jan is shown below :

  • The formal differences in (F1,F2,F3) between these data are described by the rms scatters of (0.50", 0.51", 0.65") c.f. (0.54", 0.40", 0.74") previously.

  • The new model was installed at 15:30 HST 25 Jan 2002.

  • The data were also analysed for symmetry properties -- the time line shows all is OK.

  • . . . and the Strain Gauge measures are added to the record - all seems OK.
