[Geysers] Information wanted.

[Freund, Udo]

USGS has drill hole temp data in their PP-1456 report for Norris GB.  To view it click on this link http://pubs.usgs.gov/pp/1456/ then download the file (12MB).  The temperature at depth chart is on page 8.  Of course Norris is much hotter than other basins but it's interesting nevertheless.

I wasn't able to view PP-1054-B, the report on drill hole Y-6 but you might give it a try.  This report is online and may contain the data sought.  You'll have to download djvu free software prior to opening the file: http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/usgspubs/pp/pp1054B

The list of other USGS reports, not all of which are downloadable, is at http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/yvo/publications/articles.php .  My search revealed no other viewable reports on the Upper Basin's research drill holes.  If anyone has them and can provide us with contents related to this question please do so.  Enquiring minds want to know . . . .

Thanks,
Happy Holidays!

Stephen:

I shall try and be charitable.  Let us just say that much of the data in his book of a similar vein to measuring temps 175m down is... not exactly verifiable by any other person.  Ever.

I don't think many scientists cite these sorts of data in their own papers.

Hello all,

I ran across a book, Geysers and Geothermal Energy by John S. Rinehart with some interesting info in it.  One was a graph of the temperature changes over time in Old Faithful at the 175  m (about 575 foot) depth.  Now, I didn't know that a temperature probe was ever placed in Old Faithful to that depth.  The Bibliography for the book lists many references for the chapter in question but does not tell me which of the references this data came out of.  So my question is, does anyone know more about this temperature at depth data and who gathered it?   I am just lazy and don't want to look up all the Yellowstone related references for this chapter.

Thank you,

Stephen Eide
