[Geysers] North Goggles "Complete" listing -- 2/12/12

[David Monteith]

Here is a listing of the North Goggles and Lion eruptions seen via the
webcams on Sunday February 12, 2012.  Note this list corrects errors in
my previous list and in data posted on geysertimes.org

A total of 11 Lion and 22 North Goggles eruptions were visible.  It was
light enough to see via the webcams from 0640 to 1820.  

If there is interest I can also review the recordings for data on Little
Cub.

NG = North Goggles

If no height is given for NG then the eruption was approximately 3 to 6
feet or in some cases steam obscured the water height.  Except for the
two 195 second duration eruptions all other eruptions were consistent
with expected minor behavior.  Heights were estimated based upon people
occasionally standing in the vicinity and the sign board at the trail
junction.

Durations are approximate to the nearest 5 seconds.
