-2) UMN test setup (Tanner)+Vuk: no news yet, trying to connect with Bryce. Will try to keep everyone informed via email.

 +2) UMN test setup 
 + 
 +Tanner: continuing to set up the prototype at UMN, connected the digitizer, the bailer,  
 +and a computer to a local network switch. Can control them, see the data from the seismometer  
 +etc. At the moment don't have the GPS hooked up, since the lab is in the basement. Will move to  
 +a different lab with a window, with the hope that we can get the GPS signal and get the whole  
 +system to work.

 +    Eric: Going back to the beginning and trying to rebuild the radiometer algorithm to 
 +    understand it better now, and to make things easier in the future. Studying the overlap 
 +    reduction between seismometers, following the formalism from the gravitational-wave field. 
 +    Assume isotropic distribution of eg P-waves only or S-waves only, two detectors some distance 
 +    apart, look at different detector orientations. Normalization of the overlap reduction function 
 +    such that at low frequency it shows the fraction of the power detected, so it approaches 1/3 
 +    (due to 3D nature of the siimulated field). 
 +    Victor: similar studies have been done in the past, showing that lower frequencies are 
 +    correlated over longer distances. There is also a difference between surface and body waves.
 +    Eric: Next, will develop the code to simulate different seismic noise fields, stochastic 
 +    rather than sinusoidal. Should allow adding different modes in the future, with different 
 +    directionality and different frequency content. 
 +    Victor: should also worry about heterogeneity.
 +    Vuk: definitely should include it, although it may be more important and high than at low frequencies.
 +    Eric: will also redo the map-computation code, including the spherical harmonic decomposition 
 +    code copied from the GW field.
