TITLE: 08/16 Eve Shift: 2330-0500 UTC (1630-2200 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 155Mpc
OUTGOING OPERATOR: Ryan C
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
SEI_ENV state: SEISMON_ALERT
Wind: 24mph Gusts, 12mph 3min avg
Primary useism: 0.06 μm/s
Secondary useism: 0.20 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY:
H1's been locked ~1.5hrs and we continue to have the fairly constant breeze hovering around 20mph (with some gusts over 30mph--no doubt contributing to the locklosses today perhaps).
Ryan was not able to run the Sat calibration due to locklosses and not having a thermalized H1. If L1 happens to have a lockloss this evening, I can run one (otherwise, we waiting game/TOI).
Microseism has been trending up the last ~12hrs (currently flattened out above the 50th percentile....it had been below it). Perhaps this has teamed up with the winds for the locklosses today. (Have a standard M5.5 Tonga EQ inbound, and just transitioned to EQ Mode. So have winds + increased microseism + incoming EQ). Been a while since we've juggled multiple seismic sources.
