CW Inclinometry, OK


Inclinometry was done as follows :

    Datasets  El Dirn     HST     mean leg temperatures   Humidity
                          start     start   middle   end       %
  ( 20030301  90  cw      10:21     -4.1     -3.0   -2.1      40 )
    20030314  90  cw      10:25      3.8      5.0    6.0      16

All data channels (particularly those from the 'fixed' TMU inclinometer) were OK apart from a glitch in Chs 5 & 8 at azimuth 291, which was corrected by interpolation before further processing. The resulting model is compared with previous model -- the one taken on 01 Mar :

The data are only in minor ways different from those of the 01st (a glitch in the older data appears in the difference spectrum at azimuth 154), and they are used to create a new track model.

  • The differences in (F1,F2,F3) are described by the rms scatters of (0.32", 0.55", 0.30") c.f. (0.32", 0.45", 0.28") previously.

  • Updates have been made to the plots of symmetry and strain gauge data. All looks OK.

  • The model was installed at 14:45 HST on 14 Mar 2003.
