[Geysers] Consecutive Short Intervals of Old Faithful (Stephens)

Yesterday someone asked on the webcam chat page whether it was possible for Old Faithful to have consecutive short intervals.  A response "Yes" was posted.  (Naturally, it's a geyser, it can do whatever it wants whenever it wants.)

 

However, consecutive short intervals have been very infrequent.  The most recent set of consecutive short intervals was on December 29, 1996.  The most recent medium-medium set of intervals was on March 1, 1997 with consecutive intervals of 64 minutes and 67 minutes.  Finally, the most recent set of Medium-Short, or Short-Medium was September 29,1996.

 

The other data I collected while doing this search will be written up in a short article for the June issue of The Sput.
