Aside from that period, we had a selection of dust, clouds, rain, and high humidity. Happy monsoon, everyone! ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEGDFVO) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM --------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 70 41 7 227 (SW) 829 ptly cldy none 17:01 57 40 12 79 (ENE) 746 ptly cldy none 18:01 62 41 7 359 (N) 883 mstly clr none 19:01 58 41 5 87 (E) 574 ptly cldy none 20:01 59 37 2 272 (W) 832 mstly cldy none 21:01 55 36 11 26 (NNE) 1399 mstly cldy none 22:01 56 36 8 48 (NE) 999 ptly cldy none 23:01 52 38 3 89 (E) 1244 ptly cldy none 00:01 54 37 15 80 (E) 895 mstly cldy none 01:01 47 44 22 71 (ENE) 746 mstly cldy rain 02:01 46 45 27 69 (ENE) 279 mstly cldy rain 03:01 45 44 6 106 (ESE) 548 mstly cldy none 04:01 46 45 9 175 (S) 837 mstly cldy none 05:01 46 44 6 159 (SSE) 875 mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
