[Geysers] Geyser Report 2/05/05 KGTF

[Mike Keller]

We finally had some snow here today.

 

A couple changes on Geyser Hill since Giantess-Copper Kettle is in overflow.
There is a newer steam vent that is having periodic steam phase eruptions
between Sponge Geyser and Boardwalk Geyser.  This vent has been there a
while, but the forced steam phase stuff with fine spray is fairly recent.

 

The small vent in the runoff from Crested Pool near the footbridge below
Castle was erupting to a foot today.  Terra Cotta "A" and "B" were also
active.

 

Sawmill continues to dominate the Sawmill Group.  The entire area was in a
deep drain at 1050, and Uncertain erupted between 1050 and 1300.

 

Grand was 1155 (?/?2*Q) today.  Rift was seen at 1225ns.

 

Beauty continues to overflow.

 

Oblong's crater was empty at 1115.

 

There was a Marathon recovery hot period at Giant at 1209.  Ninety seconds
into the hot period Mastiff was surging up to 5 feet and India was under an
inch of water.  Mastiff continued to pour during the hot period.  The
restart began about 20 seconds after Feather quit, with vertical surging
over the back of the cone and Turtle erupting to about 2 feet for close to 4
minutes, but no Giant.

 

Fan and Mortar erupted at 1025 on 2/03, an interval of 2.5 days or so.
