Focus analysis for September & October
September
---------
FE axis No.obs. mean s.d. Notes
(mm) (mm)
SCUBA Z 104 -0.08 0.09 1,2
X 48 0.08 0.27 3
Y 47 0.03 0.17 2
RxA Z 76 -0.08 0.07 4
X 47 0.13 0.20 4
Y 45 -0.01 0.17 4
RxB Z 36 -0.07 0.07 5
X 38 0.06 0.23 6,7
Y 40 0.07 0.11 5
Notes : 1 : SCUBA_Z = (-0.22 +- 0.06)*sin(el)
2 : no significant thermal dependency, 2 < T < 13
3 : SCUBA_X = (+0.056 +- 0.015)*T_mean 2 < T < 13
4 : no significant thermal dependency, 0 < T < 15
5 : no significant thermal dependency, 2 < T < 15
6 : RXB_X = (-0.79 +- 0.18)*cos(el)
7 : RXB_X = (+0.033 +- 0.010)*T_mean 2 < T < 15
Notes 1, 3, 6 & 7 show apparent strong correlations.
The elevation dependencies, 1 & 6, are not confirmed at other FEs,
while the X-dependence upon mean leg temperature seen in
data for SCUBA & RxB is not seen in RxA data !?
This is all insufficient to warrant changing any of the
SMU algorithms at this time.
October (thru Oct 26 UT - with poor weather forecast
------- (for the rest of the month)
FE axis No.obs. mean s.d. Notes
(mm) (mm)
SCUBA Z 50 -0.05 0.09
X 18 0.13 0.15
Y 18 -0.04 0.13
RXA Z 84 -0.03 0.08 8
X 54 0.05 0.20 9
Y 53 -0.13 0.20
RXB Z 29 -0.08 0.09
X 29 0.04 0.15
Y 29 -0.06 0.13
Notes : 8 : RXA_Z = ( -0.20 +- 0.06 )*sin(el) s.d. 0.08
9 : RXA_X = ( -0.66 +- 0.16 )*cos(el) s.d. 0.18
Again, and collectively, there's insufficient cause to change
the algorithms.
