20031025 report

CW Inclinometry OK


Inclinometry has been done as follows :

    Datasets  El Dirn     HST     mean leg temperatures   Humidity
                          start     start   middle   end       %
  ( 20031004  90  cw      10:30      5.0      6.1    7.0      25 
    20031012  90  cw      23:53      3.5      3.5    3.4     100 
    20031019  90  cw      21:32      8.5      8.3    8.0      30 )
    20031025  90  cw      07:38      4.3      5.2    5.8      30

All channels of the new data were OK. The resulting model is compared with previous one taken on 12 Oct below :

  • There are changes in the track model terms, similar to those seen most recently and the inverse of those the time before that. The differences in (F1,F2,F3) between these two CW models are described by the rms scatters of (0.47", 0.23", 0.24") c.f. (0.46", 0.27", 0.36") previously.

  • This time the new (CW) model was merged with the recent (CW-CCW) average to create a new hybrid track model, which was installed at HST 11:30 on 27 Oct 2003.

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