Weather and Fault Statistics

The following tables present the weather loss and fault loss for semester 97A. Semester 96B was extended to include February 1997. These tables use the standard February through July statistics for compatibility with earlier tables. A more detailed description of how these tables are created is also available here.

Table 2: JCMT fault statistics. Wherever possible the faults are categorised into ANT = antenna; INS = instrument; COMP = computer hardware; SOFT = software; CAR = carousel; with the remainder going to OTH = other. The figures in the table may not appear to add up correctly due to rounding in the original program. P defines the time lost from Primary projects. The category B(hrs) is the time lost to Backup projects.
