CW & CCW Inclinometry, OK


Inclinometry has been done in the past month as follows :

    Datasets  El Dirn     HST     mean leg temperatures   Humidity
                          start     start   middle   end       %

All data channels were OK. The model resulting from the last CW run is compared with previous CW model -- the one taken on June 15 below :

  • The differences in (F1,F2,F3) for the CW models are described by the rms scatters of (0.44", 0.17", 0.35") c.f. (0.34", 0.21", 0.31") previously.

  • The new (CW) model was merged with the recent (CW-CCW) average to create a new hybrid track model, which was installed at HST 12:30 on 29 August 2003.

  • The new CW-CCW difference, from the 18th & 19th, are shown below :

    and remain similar to all previous CW-CCW datasets : see, for instance, the data taken on June 01. The new data were not used to add to the mean (CW-CCW) profile (because of being taken on different days).

  • All the above data have been used to update the plots of symmetry and strain gauge data. All seems OK.
