Craig fixed some issues with the MC that led to last night's troubles. Tonight started smoothly and no problems were encountered with DIS II or Remark. Second half started under thick clouds. We remained open. Second half was punctuated with GRIM ICC crashes and subsequent restarts. Three to be exact. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG/INST/FAILURE MODE TIME S/E/G/D/O/TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- JH01/G I/S Various GRIM ICC Failures ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM --------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:17 DISII-Slit -25(838) 60 57 11.4/13.6 257 18 - 1.29 19:21 NA2-Gdr -1953(55048) 60 57 11.1/13.1 245 19 R 1.17 00:04 GRIM II-f/5 50(796) 214 46 9.6/9.9 284 9 J 1.14 03:41 GRIM II-f/5 75(761) 219 50 8.2/8.8 12 6 J 1.08 --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 59 18 6 262 (W) 653 ptly cldy none 17:01 57 14 4 298 (WNW) 939 ptly cldy none 18:01 54 12 9 266 (W) 866 ptly cldy none 19:01 52 11 18 252 (WSW) 723 ptly cldy none 20:01 51 7 17 241 (WSW) 702 ptly cldy none 21:01 51 9 17 265 (W) 626 ptly cldy none 22:01 50 8 13 266 (W) 661 ptly cldy none 23:01 50 8 15 267 (W) 638 ptly cldy none 00:01 50 9 17 268 (W) 716 ptly cldy none 01:01 49 6 8 310 (NW) 693 ptly cldy none 02:01 49 7 6 326 (NW) 717 ptly cldy none 03:01 48 5 7 3 (N) 837 ptly cldy none 04:01 45 6 7 340 (NNW) 819 ptly cldy none 05:01 49 6 14 352 (N) 839 ptly cldy none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
