971122 report

Updated track model


One CW inclinometry run was made during the afternoon. (Thanks Kimberly). The CW data was used to create a new track model, which is now installed.

     dataset     Start time     Mean leg temperatures
                     HST        start   middle    end
   inc971122        10:00        1.8      3.0     4.0 C

The plot below shows the difference between the new model and the previous one of 971105 :

There are several 2" excursions at the same azimuths as seen before .

The rms scatters in the 971122-05 data for track model parameters (F1, F2, F3) are (0.65", 0.45", 0.53"). The model is installed, particularly because of the time elapsed and because the temperatures have dropped in the interim.
