991201 report

Inclinometry - OK


SUMMARY
CW Inclinometry was taken during the evening 01 Dec 1999. There are minimal changes in the track model since the last run on 22 Nov .


   Datasets     HST start      mean leg temperatures   Humidity
                               start   middle   end       %
 ( inc991122 cw   20:38         7.6     7.0     6.5      25 ) 
   inc991201 cw   20:00         1.3     1.0     0.5      90

The difference between these clockwise models is shown below :

  • The differences in the (F1,F2,F3) have rms scatters of (0.77", 0.44", 0.53") cf (0.39", 0.31", 0.33") previously. This may be explained be the rather different temperature (and humidity) conditions prevailing.

  • The new track model was installed at 11:15 HST on 19991202.

  • The symmetry remains good : see the plot .
