The LIGO observatories detect gravitational waves through monitoring changes in the detectors' length down to below ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}19}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{m}/\sqrt{\mathrm{Hz}}$ variations---a small fraction of the size of the atoms that make up the detector. To achieve this sensitivity, the detector and its environment need to be closely monitored. Beyond the gravitational-wave data stream, LIGO continuously records hundreds of thousands of channels of environmental and instrumental…
