TITLE: 01/05 Eve Shift: 00:00-08:00 UTC (16:00-00:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Aligning
OUTGOING OPERATOR: Austin
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
    SEI_ENV state: CALM
    Wind: 5mph Gusts, 3mph 5min avg
    Primary useism: 0.15 μm/s
    Secondary useism: 0.55 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY:

Arrived to my shift Mid-Initial Alignment for H1 per Austin's recovery from commissioning lockloss (and due to minor hardship for getting through early steps of ISC-LOCKing).  Status:  Alignment complete and H1 has just passed the DRMI locking steps.  NOTE:  Lockloss at LOW NOISE COIL DRIVERS, & then CHECK AS SHUTTERS.

Austin also mentioned the unique low-freq seismic activity--Microseism was starting a slow decrease 24hrs ago, but in the last 12hrs it started to turn around and is currently back up to where it was 24hrs ago (which is at/above the 95th percentile).  BUT--a unique observation is that the "secondary" microseism band has also increased around the 12hr turnaround.  So because of the odd microseism and rough locking in early states, SEI_CONF is at the USEISM state.  If we want to return SEI_CONF to WINDY, It's not a simple transition to WINDY. TJ shared how we make this transition:

• Open code for SEI_ENV node, and make change to the SEI_ENV.py file
• Comment/uncomment out constants for "sei_conf_nom" and "sei_conf_eq" from USEISM to WINDY
• Save the file.
• LOAD run on SEI_ENV guardian node.
• INIT on SEI_ENV---this will take SEI_CONF back to WINDY.

For much of the above---it most likely not be done tonight, unless the Earth becomes much more quieter seismically for us.
