[Geysers] Morning 1040 06/21/12

[Paul Strasser]

Grover recollects correctly.  Tomas Vachuda saw this phenomena also, and I
believe it occurred only in the eruptions with a duration of over 40
minutes. (The intervals were In the 18 hour range.)  "Granding" was markedly
different than Morning's typical play of discrete bursts.  The water column
was much whiter than Grand and the speed of the separate bursts were
somewhere between the rapid fire of Grand and the slower  1-2-3 bursting of
a Great Fountain superbursts.
I did not see this behavior in the 70s or 1991.

Back in the early 80's, when Morning had a very good active period, on
certain eruptions it would do something that Paul Strasser and I
called "Granding". In the middle of an eruption it would suddenly kick
into rapid-fire jetting that shot the water up in a tall column of
jets that was sustained for several seconds.It looked and sounded like
Grand, and created the tallest eruptions we'd seen.We theorized that
when earlier observers reported 200 foot heights, it must have done
something similar to the "Granding".
