20020429 report
Inclinometry - no big change since yesterday.
A CW run with the 'fixed' TMU inclinometer was made during the evening
during the fog :
Datasets El Dirn HST mean leg temperatures Humidity
start start middle end %
( 20020428 90 cw 20:30 6.8 5.8 100 )
20020429 90 cw 20:54 3.8 3.7 3.3 100
The temperature data from the fixed TMU inclinometer seem OK again
(!?) so data were processed into a track model in the conventional
way. The model resulting is compared
below with the model from the 28th :
-
The measured track profile is essentially unchanged - there is
no sign of 'spikes' as seen in the last week or so, and no
sign of the 8.8deg ripple - indicating, again, that the
wheel realignment was a momentary event.
-
The formal differences in
(F1,F2,F3)
between these data
are described by the rms scatters of
(0.33", 0.27", 0.38")
- respectably normal.
-
Updates have been made to the plots of symmetry and
strain gauge data. Both show a return to
normalcy compared to the past week or so.
-
The new model was installed at 04:30 HST 30 Apr 2002.
-
Antenna leg temperatures did not decline particularly fast
during the night -- dropping to only 3.1degs at ~08:00 --
so no further were taken this night. Another run should be made
when the antenna is 'really cool' - like at 1degC or below.
