[Geysers] Oscillating pairs of springs/geysers

[Paul Strasser]

The entire Daisy group reacts to an eruption of Daisy and/or Splendid by a
drop in water level, most obviously in Brilliant pool.  During Oct 1999 a
major eruption of Spiteful would result in the complete emptying of Norris
Pool, across the trail - very cool.  

For most of the last 50 ears or so, Chromatic or Beauty would overflow, and
when one  started overflow the other would cease.

There are tons of others.

Reading through "Geyser of Yellowstone" yet again, the description of Bead
Geyser & "Terracette Spring" caught my eye. Evidently when water levels in
Bead fall, "Terracette Spring" rises a few inches. Do these oscillate
periodically, or chaotically? In a similar fashion when Steamboat erupts
Cistern Spring can drop very deeply. What are some other common examples of
this synchronicity between two or more features? Are many of these periodic
pairs? At one point I developed a model that showed some of these behaviors,
(in an attempt to understand Cistern Spring), but it confused me and I moved
on... now I'm curious again?

So... favorite periodic pairs, with oscillation periods if known?
