Runs

News of more marking from Anasuya...

Two runs finished overnight and have been analysed. All runs are either going or done, so no recoding and resetting off anymore.

SaturnX was the 12eV GS100m run. This was analysed, completing the GS100m set.

Saturn50000 was the 12eV BSR0.25 run. This was also analysed, changing 12eV's grade to a pass and completing the BSR0.25 set.

This leaves 12 runs filling fourteen slots (as the middle run of the three sets is the control run, which is the same for all three).

Have looked at thesis. Looks the same as always

Ok, back onto things for the paper (remember that). Grodent gave me examples of his stuff for maxwellian energy distributions of characteristic energy: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 200, 500 keV, equivalent to mean energies of: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100, 200, 400, 1000 keV. For it to work best, I'll keep the mean at 40keV at the top, 2 at the bottom and 10 and 20 in the middle - ie use the 1, 5, 10 and 20 keV maxwellian results to run this.

These need to be normalised to 50 erg cm-1 s-1 (although I then need to pull slowly away from cgi units...). For each of them, I need to generate an electron distribution, with appropriate normalisation. I then need to extract the atmosphere from each of the Grodent datafiles and then run the generated electron spectrum into the atmosphere using RIDE.

Have sorted out some emails that needed deleting. What's that about avoidance?

Electron numbers now calculated.

Three runs - and marking

Three runs have finished overnight (well, they didn't finish in an overnight burst, they just happened to finish, after a long time, between me leaving last night and arriving today... but you know what I mean.. don't you?)

Saturn12 is the 12eV BSR1.0 run, finished with a day to spare... It was recoded, analysed and reset off as BSR0.9. Analysis gave no grade changes, but it did finally finish off the BSR1.0 set of runs, the first of the BSRs to finish.

Saturn50 is the 50eV GS10m run. This was analysed and then recoded as SD-1 (since the last 50eV GS run is already being done) and set off, meaning all six slots that are destined to attack the SD 12eV runs are in the SD block, ready to roll once they've done their stuff on 40, 50 and 1000 eV. No grade changes.

Saturn50000 was the 12eV BSR0.1 run. This was analysed and recoded as BSR0.25. Analysis revealed no grade chages, but BSR0.1 became the second BSR set to finish.

A good day for 12eV!

...and some marking...
