[Geysers] Geysers that Erupt in Series

[Bruce Jensen]

Not exactly well-known but pretty big, Spa also seems to erupt in a series of sorts, with quiet periods of several minutes punctuated by "big" bursts of a few to several seconds.

Perhaps Lynn would agree that Atomizer's eruptive cycle would constitute a "series" within the parameters of your definition too.
