PRFPMI cannot be locked probably due to the GRY instbility

I tried to lock PRFPMI to keep thegood alignment but faild.
I briefly checked the reason and found that the GRY transmission power chaned very rapidly between 0.3 and 1.1 as shown in fig1.
This phenomena sometimes happened and considered as modehopping of GR laser.
So, I gave up to lock the interferometr tonight.

In this morning, after the initial alignment, we tried to lock the IFO, but when I requested the PRFPMI_RF_LOCKED in LSC_LOCK guardian, I noticed both PLLX and PLLY unklocked.
After relock the PLLs by changing the temp bias, both GRX and GRY became stable.
Then, PRFPMI RF lock succeeded without any problem.

I measured the OLTF for DARM, MICH and PRCL.
Both DARM and MICH OLG became larger, instead PRCL OLG didn't change.

The temp in the PSL room in the last 6 days is listed in Fig.1

The temp seems to decrease by 0.01C without any intentional changes, and no PLL troubles are reported. We will keep monitoring. If the lower temp is favor, I will decrease the temp in the PSL room.
