KATRIN update

Barbados Cloud Observatory Posted on October 4, 2011 by lutzhirschOctober 4, 2011

The cloudradar is already running since some days, but we had to perform a lot of test with the AC and a number of radar controller settings had to be adjusted. Since yesterday we are happy with the radar’s performance. Tonight the ground fault circuit interrupter was engaged for an … Continue reading →

Barbados Cloud Observatory Posted on September 26, 2011 by lutzhirschSeptember 26, 2011

Cloudradar is in test-operation: – the repair of the radar receiver seems to have been successful, but some further tests are necessary. – ac is struggling to keep the radar cooled, we work on that, too.

Status 2011 02 14, update

Barbados Cloud Observatory Posted on February 14, 2011 by lutzhirschFebruary 14, 2011

KATRIN is running and scanning again since 18:30 UT. To prevent further HD damage I changed the scanning a little. The movements between the scans are much slower now. To save time I clipped away 5° of the scanning sector on each side. Let’s see if that runs stable.

Barbados Cloud Observatory Posted on February 5, 2011 by lutzhirschFebruary 5, 2011

We had a power drop yesterday around 16:00 UT !! Seems that the site (and also Ragged Point) was down for a while. The status of our site as far as I could figure out by now: Lidar: down Dial: down ? Cloudradar KATRIN: running and scanning since 19 UT … Continue reading →
