Summary
The station has been commissioned for seven months. The instrument log begins on the commissioning date. The 1981 comparison campaign does not appear in it. This is not an oversight; it is a consequence of how custody was defined.
Occupation
Eleven-week rotations are already showing the step-change in vigilance that later work would measure carefully. The cooks noticed first.
The gap
Observation 7A remains a document without a home in the station’s own series. MERIDIAN holds it. LOWFIELD staff are briefed that it exists. They are not briefed that it is solved, because it is not.
