[Geysers] Geyser Report 4-17-05

[Mike Keller]

All,

 

Little Brother Geyser is active.  David Goldberg said on 4/16 it was
erupting every 45 seconds, lasting about 5 seconds, and reaching 5-10 feet.
Following an eruption of Three Crater Geyser, Little Brother would pause for
a few minutes before resuming.  Today it was behaving in much the same
manner.

 

Little Squirt was active on 4/16.

 

Plume was erupting at near hour intervals.

 

Castle appears to have had a minor eruption overnight.

 

Sawmill was in eruption most of the day.  The brief time it was off in the
afternoon allowed Uncertain to erupt.

 

Grand was probably 0851ie based on heavy steam seen from the Snowlodge.  At
0857 Vent and Turban were both in eruption.  Rift was 0907ie as well.  Grand
erupted again at 1713 (D3/T1C) with a duration of 9m22s.

 

Oblong erupted at 1344ie and 1655ie.

 

There was a strong recovery hot period at 0908ie.  I saw the last 4 minutes
of it. Mastiff was surging to only 6 inches, but the overflow was heavy
enough to flood between Giant's cone and Turtle Geyser.  Other hot periods
happened at appx 1220 and 1725.

 

Grotto was off all morning, was off at 1305, but was 1328ie.  It was still
in eruption at 1746 and appeared to be entering another marathon.  This
would be consecutive marathon eruption if true.

 

Despite having gazers in the basin all day the only Daisy we saw was at
1735ie.  It was windy all day.

 

Riverside at 0913 and 1521ie
