20040304 report

CW Inclinometry OK


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 
    20040215  90  cw      23:44      0.2     -0.1   -0.4      50 )
    20040304  90  cw      03:30     -0.1     -0.3   -0.2      90

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

  • The difference (on the left) between the new data and the previous data of 20040215 seemed mirror images of those between the datasets of 20040215 and 20040124, and indeed the 20040304-20040124 differences (on the right) are considerably smaller. This appears to have no correlation with temperature.
  • The differences in (F1,F2,F3) are described by the rms scatters of (0.62", 0.27", 0.34") and (0.30", 0.17", 0.40") cf. (0.56", 0.18", 0.29") previously.
  • The new CW model was merged with the (CW-CCW) template to create a hybrid track model, which was installed at HST 10:20 on 04 Mar 2004.
  • Records of the symmetry and strain gauge data have been updated.
