compilation test...

Randgen - compiles fine of course (I never wrote it...)
atom - one array too big, sorted
cross - one array to small, sorted
electron - statement number error, sorted
strike - fine
proton1 - fine
hit - fine
back - fine
selectron - same statement error as electron, sorted
recoil - fine
proton - fine
Jupiter - fine (aledgedly...)

Just a couple of quick runs to test it
10keV, pitch angle zero (field aligned), 1000 electrons

Loads of questions of course - how much computational time will be taken by the larger atmosphere? Is the atmosphere in the right way up for this program? Does it actually work? All the usual ones...

well, at least I know they can run for ages... lets see if they can finish...

Meanwhile, back at the office, the new keter submission system is alledgedly up and working. The maximum runtime for the fast server is 62 days, the max for the medium one is 124 and the slow servers are unlimited. Great, except for one minor quibble. The maximum runtime it is possible to specifiy on the runscript is 999hours 59mins 59 seconds, or just over 41 days... Dontcha love basic maths... of course, it may be that the numbers can be varied... that had better be the case, at least. Lets see if the sensitivities will go back up (all seven remaining ones...)

Saturn2 - BSR/GS/SD 0.5 12eV now off on new V890 (or queued at least)
Saturn100000 - BSR1.0 100KeV now off on new V890 (or queued at least)
Saturn1 - GS10m 12eV now off on new V880
Saturn3 - BSR0.75 now off on new V880
Saturn40 - SD+C 12eV now off on new V880
Saturn50 - SD-1 12eV now off on new V880
Saturn12000 - SD+2 12eV now off on new V880

All seem to be ambling along (those that are set off that is...). We shall see if they work...

Jupiter run finished. Atmosphere is upside down. Sigh.

Sorted, attempt 2

That worked fine. Now need to do two things, the first is run an energy of known height, then known energy influx.

What else needs to be done?

Validation of terrestrial electrons - need to get another model and go through this again
Validation of terrestrial protons - as above
Photon validation - got 'model', so ready
Ovation stuff - once validated, the electron ionisation results for this can be used
Hbeta runs - when validated and when data arrives, this can be done
Photon runs - can be done during validation
Makenzie stuff - when data arrives etc - connects on from this current stuff
MICdev stuff - improvements should I have time

So, jobs:

Get proton model
Get electron model
Validate jovian electrons (being done)
complete sensitivities (being done)
Validate protons
Validate electrons
Validate photons
Ovation ionisation rates
Ovation CSDA model
Ovation/TIROS comparisons
Extend Grodent profile
Extend Grodent atmosphere
Fit to Makenzie data
Experiment with proton Hbeta doppler profile parameters
Fit to HBeta data
Run photon scattering models
Write up!

There. Easy...

Just been battling latex again, identifying where the missing style files are. Between starlink and apl, I might be able to muster all the required files... we shall see...

Another quick note

One run:

Saturn12000 finished the 1keV SD+2 run, finishing off all 1keV runs. It was analysed and recoded as 12eV SD+2 and set off. Analysis revealed no grade changes beyond the end of 1keV (all energies asides from 100k, 12eV, 40eV and 50eV are now done). However, with only 11 runs left to be recorded as done, SD is finally down to one set of slots.

Marking, marking, marking.

It hasn't stopped... Raman's stuff may be done and ready to be shipped off, but Anasuya's stuff remains... it becomes today's task. And tomorrow's etc etc etc...

One run has come to an end, Saturn12000 doing the 1keV SD+C thing. This was analysed, recoded and set off as the SD+2 1keV run, which will be the last of the 1keV runs.

Couple of runs

Much of the day has been taken up with Mill Hill and taking up Outreach leaflets to the observatory, but beforehand two runs did finish, the analysis of which was kept until afterwards.

The first was Saturn1000 finishing off the 1keV GS runs with GS1m. This was recorded and then recoded as 100keV GS1m run and set off. Later analysis was as expected. No grade changes.

The second was Saturn12000, doing a 1keV SD run (SD+1). This was recorded, recoded as SD+C and set off, making it the penultimate 1keV run. Analysis as expected. SD grade changes to a first. It is 70% done, GS is more than 80% done and BSR is 90% done. Overall, just over 80% done.

Another quick note

Two runs completed today:

Saturn50 finished the 50eV GS10km run. This was analysed, with no grade changes, and the next run set up and off.

Saturn12000 finished the 1keV SD-1 run. This was also anaylsed, set up and off again.
