CW Inclinometry OK, but not used


Inclinometry was done as follows :

    Datasets  El Dirn     HST     mean leg temperatures   Humidity
                          start     start   middle   end       %
 (  20040124  90  cw      14:21      0.6      1.1    1.4      90 )
    20040205  90  cw      19:35      2.7      2.6    2.5     100

All data channels of the inclinometry data are OK. The resulting model is compared below with the previous one :

  • The data are rather similar to those previously, but the spikes at az=100 and elsewhere make the data unappealing for the purposes of updating the track model.
  • The differences in (F1,F2,F3) between these two CW models are described by the rms scatters of (0.41", 0.30". 0.43") cf. (0.39", 0.33", 0.24") last time.
  • The new data were not used to update the track model.
  • Records of the symmetry and strain gauge data have been updated; there is little change in these characteristics.
