[Geysers] Giant in 2005

[Paul Strasser]

 Although Mastiff did precede the 5/30/2004 eruption, it was technically not
in "Mastiff Function," which is a term that expresses the area of the Giant
platform that is the primary locus of energy.  Mastiff can erupt when the
platform is not in "Mastiff Function," as was the case on this date.  Not
that I'm complaining.

Thanks to Scott for including the Giant file.  I seem recall a post in which
Carolyn Loren reported repositioning the Giant sign less than an hour prior
to the Thanksgiving eruption, implying there was an eruption between the
11/2/05 and 11/24/05 eruptions.

 

Also, two small corrections to the Giant file that I noticed.  Entry #50
should be dated 9/19/97 instead of 9/16/97 and the eruption on 5/30/04 was
definitely a Mastiff function eruption.  (I distinctly remember Linda
Strasser's call of the eruption start.)
