[Geysers] geyser report Sunday 6-5-11

[Paul Strasser]

I know they were occurring in 1987 because after the Sept 12 Giant eruption,
Heinrich, Suzanne and I waited for a 'follow-up' eruption of Oblong.  They
were typically occurring that year from 30 - 90 min after the first Oblong.

Michael's info is right on. Such series did also take place now and then in
the early 1990s but, so far as I know, the only know such episode since then
(until now, of course) was in 2005, per electronic data reported by Ralph
Taylor. The height of those subsequent eruptions could easily exceed 50
feet, rising as they did from a mostly-empty crater.

Oblong erupted in series like that in 1988.  After the first eruption, it 
could have a second one about 2.5 hours later.  Then it could have a third 
eruption only a half-hour after the first.

Series were infrequent and irregular, but eruptions could be very large.

Someone with access to the early issues of the _Sput_, or Transactions I, 
Phil Landis' summary of thermal activity, might be able to correct the 
above details.
