20061003 report

CW/CCW inclinometry : fine, track model updated


Inclinometry was done as follows:

    Datasets  El Dirn     HST     mean leg temperatures   Humidity
                          start     start   middle   end       %
  ( 20060916  89  cw     ~04:00     ....     ....   ....      --
    20060916  89 ccw     ~07:00     ....     ....   ....      -- )
    20061003  89  cw     ~02:15     9.3       9.2    9.1      --
    20061003  89 ccw     ~04:30     9.1       8.9    8.7      -- 

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 16 Sep are shown below :

    • rms differences in (F1,F2,F3) are (0.31", 0.42", 0.19")

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

    The F1 difference between CW and CCW runs seems of somewhat larger amplitude than previously.

    A hybrid track model was created using just the new CW-CCW profile and was installed at HST 12:45 on 03 Oct 2006.
