[Geysers] Upper Geyser Basin 3/11/2007

[Karen Low]

Today I tagged along with David Goldberg as he did 16 datalogger downloads.  Here's what we saw erupt:
   
  Little Squirt: ie at 1242 and still ie at 1450
  Little Cub: 1253 ie (but it quit before we got to Lion group do to downloads)
  Aurum: 1312 (only Aurum I saw this winter season from close up)
  Plume: 1319 and 1445
  Sawmill: 1336 ie and still ie at 1445
  Spasmodic: 1336 ie
  Grotto: ie at 1245, still ie at 1400
  Daisy: 1422
   
  About the downloads: Datalogger at Plate had been chewed on by critters.  Beehive datalogger looks like it is failing.  Daisy had a couple of long intervals (12-20 hours!)
   
  Looking at Grotto's data, here is a list of which ones were or were not on the Marathon recovery:
   
  2/12/07  Giant 510 after a 10.5 day interval: Marathon recovery
  overnight 2/17-2/18 after a 6 day interval: not Marathon recovery
  overnight 2/22-2/23 after a 5 day interval: Marathon recovery
  3/40/07 1345 ie after a 10.5 day interval: not Marathon recovery
   
  I'm planning on getting out to Giant tomorrow for at least a little while, to see if it will erupt before I leave Old Faithful early Tuesday morning.  David will do the downloads on Riverside, Artemesia, Atomizer, Spouter and Old Faithful tomorrow.
