20060916 report

CW/CCW inclinometry : OK; minimal changes; track model updated


Inclinometry was done as follows:

    Datasets  El Dirn     HST     mean leg temperatures   Humidity
                          start     start   middle   end       %
  ( 20060830  89  cw      17:30     10.6     10.8   10.3      -- )
    20060916  89  cw     ~04:00     ....     ....   ....      --
    20060916  89 ccw     ~07:00     ....     ....   ....      --

Data is recorded from the 3 active inclinometers only: there is no strain gauge data, for instance.

  • The differences between the (CW) model derived from these new data and the previous model of 30 Aug are shown below (ignore the typo in the plot title):

    Track-segment structures are identifiable, but at low amplitude (<1").

    The CW-CCW differences from the new data are shown here:

    The difference between CW and CCW runs remains very stable. (see most recent CW-CCW data of 29/30 Aug

    A hybrid track model was created and installed at HST 10:45 on 16 Sep 2006.
