11-26-91a 15:48:20 and 15:50:20 contrail analyses have been updated to the correct data (thanks Ping). A temperature vs. mass plot has been added to the graphical representation of the Spiral descent analysis on 12/05/91a. The NASA SUCCESS Project has found it's way to the DRI FIRE II webpage. This page includes a brief intro, the analysis done here at DRI, and links to the main SUCCESS webpage at NASA.

12-05-91a The spiral descent study is now complete at 12 intervals (three less than originally expected). With this study a new format of graphical representation has been introduced. This format has now been added to each of the other flights except 12/07/91a. The intervals on this date did not make for an informative presentation for the new format.

FRAMES: A new presentation format has been introduced -- frames. This should make it easier and faster to manuever throughout the website. The frame format is still under constuction and will be updated regularly. The frames are designed to be viewed with the browser maximized to full page view. Also to go forward or back in an individual frame, hold the mouse button down in the desired frame and a pop up menu will appear. If your web browser does not support the use of frames or you do not like the new format there is an option to view the site in its previous format. Simply refer to the bottom of the replicator home page (www.dri.edu/replica).

12-05-91a: A new analysis began in march, and still underway, will include 15 intervals. This will study the cloud characteristics in a spiral descent. A new appearance is being used with this study, a graphical representation with the data points linked to the corresponding time intervals. This analysis is approximately half complete and will be updated regularly. Also a new Art Gallery has been added to the web page.

12-07-91a: Revised 201945, 204010. Removed 210300, 211000. Added 201920, 201930. These two additions were analyzing the transition at cloud boundaries.

12-05-91a: 064630, 64050, 73225, 73955, 74900 ,81900,82600 updated. 81150 was added to the web page. 71400 was removed from the web page. A second analysis showed only two actual crystals. Dirty film and dry formvar made a good analysis impossible. 71900 was not updated because of film damage.
12-05-91B checked 183800 and 194550 for statistics matches between graph and average data. 182000 was removed from the web page . A second analysis showed that the film was very scratched and dirty and the formvar layer was dry and patchy. A reliable analysis would have been impossible. 182620, 183800, 184630 were updated and 190400 was added to the web page on 2/18/96.
11-26-91 checked for problem with graphics.

New analysis from 26 Feb 91 posted (contrail).
Web page format cleaned up, simplified.
Began working on a mechanism to quantify data quality. RC, PA

Found a problem with 26Nov91 18:37:55. Replicator data is unreasonably showing higher concentrations than PMS 2DC data. Need to rework and evaluate. The readme file gives the wrong date, which leads to questions about this data. PA
Spread sheet format not working well for data downloads. Need to solve either by using ftp or using a different format in the data. SOLUTION: 1. Be sure all data pages are saved as preformatted text. 2. Decrease the font size by 1 using command < . Need also to look at the data to confirm format. PA
