Notes from the 4PM Meeting¶
- Data processing caught up. Processing on Fermigrid needed to be resubmitted because of a missing
file: a bad node on Fermigrid. WF done. All the SN that didn't crash looked good.
The ones that crashed are resubmitted. - Probable plan for tonight:
- Run obsTac no matter what unless dome is closed
- Data quality assessment done; accepted all
