Lockloss @ 01:12 UTC - link to lockloss tool
No obvious cause; maybe from suddenly higher winds? Gusts have recently hit close to 40mph and microseism is past the 50th percentile.

STATE of H1: Observing at 156Mpc
OUTGOING OPERATOR: Corey
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
SEI_ENV state: CALM
Wind: 7mph Gusts, 4mph 5min avg
Primary useism: 0.02 μm/s
Secondary useism: 0.17 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY: H1 has been locked for almost 4 hours. After I arrived, the OPO pump ISS saturated and dropped H1 out of observing for 2 minutes after Guardian brought everything back. This strangely happened twice more before I decided to take SQZ_MANAGER to DOWN to try and reset things, and after doing that and bringing it back to FREQ_DEP_SQZ, things seem okay now.

STATE of H1: Earthquake
INCOMING OPERATOR: RyanS
SHIFT SUMMARY:
Mostly straightforward shift, with a big Mexico earthquake in the middle and then we had some squeezer issues dropping us out of Observing in the last few minutes (Taking SQZ Manager to DOWN did the trick with fixing the loop of the squeezer going down). And there was a superevent in the last few min, too!
LOG:
This was an obvious & quick lockloss due to a 5.2 EQ in Mexico (looks like it took down L1 about 10min before H1). Here in the control room:

Wind: 4mph Gusts, 3mph 5min avg
Primary useism: 0.02 μm/s
Secondary useism: 0.08 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY:
GWISTAT has not been listing V1's Observing status (been in "No Data" state for several days); yesterday the V1 operator mentioned they are aware and working on it.
H1's been locked, for almost 2.5hrs, but scanning Verbal Alarms, it said we weren't in Observing. H1 GRDIFO was in the MANAGED state over night, so I took it to AUTOMATIC--this automatically popped H1 back to OBSERVING. All that is understandable, but I guess I'm confused by the Range FOM (attached). A quick glance would tell me H1 was observing since we have the H1 Clean trace (dark red) on the range FOM---maybe I'm not interpreting this correctly.
NEVERMIND!!! Since GRD-IFO was in MANAGED over night, for the quick lockloss which was automatically recovered from, the OBSERVATORY MODE was remained in OBSERVING after that lockloss. I'm assuming the "H1 Clean Range" channel on the range FOM/nuc27 is non-zero when the OBSERVATORY MODE is selected to be in the OBSERVING state.
So:

SHIFT SUMMARY: Two locklosses this shift, one from an ITMY ISI trip and the other from an unknown cause. Most locking this evening was automated, at least.
LOG: No log for this shift.
Lockloss @ 03:00 UTC - link to lockloss tool
No obvious cause. As usual with these, ETMX and LSC-DARM saw the first motion before lockloss.
H1 back to observing at 06:32 UTC.
Relocking time extended due to a M6.0 EQ that came through after DRMI locked. Also had to wait in OMC_WHITENING for 45 minutes to damp violins. Otherwise an automatic relock.
FAMIS 26311, last checked in alog78477
All fans look largely unchanged from last check and all within range.
Lockloss @ 00:07 UTC - link to lockloss tool
Both stages of ITMY's ISI tripped, causing the lockloss. Some trends attached; looks like the GS13s and T240s saw a kick that ITMX did not. Unsure of the origin of this, but I was able to untip the WD and bring the ISI back without issue, and H1 is already relocking DRMI.
H1 back to observing as of 01:08 UTC. Fully automated relock.

STATE of H1: Observing at 152Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: RyanS
SHIFT SUMMARY:
Coordinated calibration run earlier & then a lockloss later in the shift was tough to recover from (ran an alignment immediately after the lockloss, but for locking, DRMI & PRMI looked bad. When Ryan arrived he helped me tweak PRMI by hand (with huge pointing/alignment changes) to finally get flashes, and then PRMI locked! And H1 is currently going to 60W). Not sure why alignment didn't look good after an alignment.
LOG:
H1 is now back to observing as of 23:56 UTC

STATE of H1: Lock Acquisition
OUTGOING OPERATOR: Corey
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
SEI_ENV state: CALM
Wind: 18mph Gusts, 13mph 5min avg
Primary useism: 0.03 μm/s
Secondary useism: 0.06 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY: Corey is working on locking DRMI; he's ran an alignment and MICH_FRINGES has run, but buildups still don't look good. We'll keep working at it.
Just completed the Saturday Calibration mesurement with L1 & V1. H1's been locked 12hrs. Winds are picking up slightly, outside temp is 88degF.
Coordinated with LLO & Virgo a few times for this--3hrs & 15min (via TeamSpeak) before the Calibration. And then about 2min before 1830utc (1130amPT), I spoke with each operator for a final reminder and then jumped into it.
NOTE: So, I knew about this measurement (which I'm fairly new at still) because of our Operator Checksheet, where this measurement is listed as 1130amPT. Also, on the LHO Control Room whiteboard, Saturday at 1130amPT there is a note. For a more official document for O4b Calibration measurements, Jenne pointed me to the document (L2400036). In this document the times for the calibration measurements are listed in Sec3.3. In the Ops Wiki Calibration Instruction page, old times were listed (mainly the wednesday dates). For O4b, we now run these calibrations on Thursdays at 830amPT & Saturdays at 1130amPT---I updated the wiki to show this.

STATE of H1: Observing at 151Mpc
OUTGOING OPERATOR: Ibrahim
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
SEI_ENV state: CALM
Wind: 6mph Gusts, 4mph 5min avg
Primary useism: 0.01 μm/s
Secondary useism: 0.06 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY:
H1's been locked the last 7.5hrs and it's very quiet seismically. Today's forecast high is around 98degF.
Nuc33's gwistat webpage needed to have the tab/webpage reloaded.
Oh and if all goes well, plan to run the Saturday Calibration in about 3hrs (at 1830utc). Have sent post on mattermost and pokes via TeamSpeak to LLO & Virgo.
H1 is back to observing as of 06:35 UTC after ~5 hours of downtime from high winds causing locking difficulties.
