[Geysers] West Thumb

[Ralph Taylor]

I downloaded the geyser data from West Thumb today.  The logger on King
Geyser was deployed around noon on 17 July.  Based on the temperature log, I
think there were just six eruptions after that, the last of which is the one
that Tara Cross-Monteith videotaped.  Here is what I have from the
temperature logger:

King Geyser Eruption Start Times for 2010

All times are local time (MST or MDT)

  Time and Date        Interval
07/17/10 21:39		
07/18/10 12:00		14h21m
07/19/10 05:28		17h28m
07/19/10 14:02		08h34m
07/20/10 02:38		12h36m
07/20/10 11:17		08h39m

I also analyzed the Lone Pine data.  The good news is that Lone Pine is
erupting once a day on a fairly regular basis.  The bad news is that 87% of
the eruptions since 1 June have occurred between 2000 and 0800.  The full
details are on the GOSA website.

Occasional Geyser (just south of Lone Pine) is erupting about every 55
minutes with a few 28-minute intervals and a few intervals close to two
hours.
