Description: | From about 96/06/19 to about 96/12/24 1630 GMT the MFRSR has suffered from
alignment problems (to varying degrees). These alignment difficulties have
a very colorful history; to wit:
96/06/19 - alignment problem detected that affects data measured in the
afternoon (as noted by the sawtooth pattern in the data)
96/07/21 - alignment occurs, but the alignment problem still persists
96/08/08 - another alignment occurs, but the alignment is now much worse
96/09/18 - yet another alignment occurs, and the alignment is now much
better, although the instrument is still a little out of alignment
96/10/02 - yet another alignment with more improvement noted, but an
alignment problem still is detectable
96/12/01 - suddendly the alignment gets MUCH worse (just look at the
morning data!!)
96/12/24 - yet another alignment; now the instrument appears to be
in proper alignment. We hope that with this alignment the
instrument is truly aligned and that the above "alignemnt
saga" (reminicent of Homer's Odyssey) has now been happily
concluded - only time will tell. |
