CW Inclinometry, OK
Inclinometry was done as follows :
Datasets El Dirn HST mean leg temperatures Humidity
start start middle end %
( 20030328 90 cw 22:50 6 5 4 85
20030329 90 ccw 01:20 4 3 2 85 )
20030405 90 cw 11:19 3.5 5.0 6.0 40
All data channels were OK : the spike at azimuth ~310 is ignored.
The resulting CW model is compared with previous CW model -- the one
taken on 29 Mar:
The new data are not significantly different from those of Mar 29.
They are used to create a new track model.

The differences in

are described by the rms scatters of

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

The CW model was installed at 11:30 HST on 07 Apr 2003.

This model was merged with the
mean (CW-CCW) file
to create the JCMT's first
hybrid model model
using azimuths of 70 and 290 as the toggle points, in
accordance with optimization described
previously.
There are still parts of the (az,el) domain
in the north, where sources are moving clocwise,
where this hybrid model is still formally inapplicable,
and the aforementioned document illustrates those.
However, even in those places the amplitude of the error is small,
and the overall performance should be better than having
an inappropriate (CW) track model in place for almost
the entire northern sky.
