One fire alarm ground fault around 11:30pm. Fog and/or high humidity (at times over 100%!) rest of 1st half. 2nd half Observing Specialist: R.McMillan Fog and mizzle throughout 2nd half. The secondary temperature sensors were reporting unusually warm values, so I spent a while mining logs to track down which sensors were involved. It's unclear whether the measurements are real or not; if real, they could be indicating a serious problem. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:00 54 54 13 200 (SSW) 3992 cloudy lt rain 17:00 54 54 7 209 (SSW) 5176 cloudy lt rain 18:00 54 55 10 203 (SSW) 42774 cloudy fog 19:00 53 54 11 203 (SSW) 66976 cloudy fog 20:00 52 53 9 202 (SSW) 20234 cloudy fog 21:00 53 54 20 196 (SSW) 16922 cloudy fog 22:00 54 54 10 247 (WSW) 24363 cloudy fog 23:00 54 54 9 260 (W) 21186 cloudy fog 00:00 53 54 18 209 (SSW) 13379 cloudy fog 01:00 53 53 14 200 (SSW) 16228 cloudy fog 02:00 53 53 17 242 (WSW) 7309 cloudy lt rain 03:00 53 53 18 222 (SW) 8432 cloudy lt rain 04:00 53 54 16 234 (SW) 11734 cloudy fog 05:00 53 54 18 247 (WSW) 16433 cloudy fog Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
