none of the reported eruptions failed to appear in the temperature record.  I have posted the graphs and a list of the known eruptions on the GOSA website, along with the following paragraph:</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=343332323-26032007><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=343332323-26032007> <DIV><SPAN class=156360223-26032007>This year the record for Beehive is ambiguous for February 2007; there are few eruptions evident from the temperature record, but the recorded temperatures are well above freezing so the sensor did not appear to be covered in ice.  Up to mid-January Beehive eruptions occurred once or twice per day.  From 18 January to 1 February eruptions appear in the temperature record at intervals of one to three days, and the temperature trace indicates that runoff water was flowing over the sensor--temperatures show diurnal variations and are between 10 and 20 degrees C (well above freezing).  No eruptions were apparent between 22 January and 25 January, on 26 January, or 31 January.  In February there are two eruptions on 1 February, then none until 24 February, with one possible eruption on 19 February at about 11:30.  Definite eruptions occurred on 24 and 27 February and on 2 March and 7 March.  Regularly spaced eruptions appear starting on 12 March at two-day intervals up to the end of the data on 21 March.  Based on the appearance of the temperature record, I do not think there was an instrumentation failure.  No reports of eruptions appeared on the geyser email list in other than those mentioned.  The vagaries of wind and possible ice dams make it impossible to rule out eruptions, but it appears that Beehive has slowed substantially.</SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=156360223-26032007><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=156360223-26032007><SPAN class=343332323-26032007><FONT face=Arial size=2>The eruptions that I can definitely identify from the temperature record are:</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=156360223-26032007><SPAN class=343332323-26032007><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=156360223-26032007><SPAN class=343332323-26032007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Time and date        Interval</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=156360223-26032007><SPAN class=343332323-26032007><FONT face=Arial size=2>01/01/07 13:56:00,  21:32:00<BR>01/02/07 11:36:00,  21:40:00<BR>01/03/07 04:03:00,  16:27:00<BR>01/03/07 22:24:00,  18:21:00<BR>01/04/07 15:04:00,  16:40:00<BR>01/05/07 15:05:00,  24:01:00<BR>01/06/07 08:35:00,  17:30:00<BR>01/07/07 22:36:00,  38:01:00<BR>01/09/07 02:11:00,  27:35:00<BR>01/09/07 18:52:00,  16:41:00<BR>01/10/07 08:10:00,  13:18:00<BR>01/10/07 21:54:00,  13:44:00<BR>01/11/07 19:02:00,  21:08:00<BR>01/12/07 18:22:00,  23:20:00<BR>01/13/07 15:33:00,  21:11:00<BR>01/14/07 06:00:00,  14:27:00<BR>01/14/07 17:46:00,  11:46:00<BR>01/15/07 12:30:00,  18:44:00<BR>01/16/07 22:48:00,  34:18:00<BR>01/18/07 05:09:00,  30:21:00<BR>01/20/07 05:10:00,  48:01:00<BR>01/21/07 21:22:00,  40:12:00<BR>01/25/07 14:06:00,  88:44:00<BR>01/27/07 04:27:00,  38:21:00<BR>01/28/07 01:03:00,  20:36:00<BR>01/29/07 05:23:00,  28:20:00<BR>01/30/07 06:23:00,  25:00:00<BR>02/01/07 02:20:00,  43:57:00<BR>02/01/07 22:02:00,  19:42:00<BR>02/24/07 08:02:00,  538:00:00<BR>02/27/07 15:17:00,  79:15:00<BR>03/02/07 07:49:00,  64:32:00<BR>03/07/07 15:31:00,  127:42:00<BR>03/12/07 15:33:00,  119:02:00<BR>03/14/07 14:08:00,  46:35:00<BR>03/16/07 17:52:00,  51:44:00<BR>03/18/07 12:41:00,  42:49:00<BR>03/20/07 12:00:00,  47:19:00</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=156360223-26032007><SPAN class=343332323-26032007><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=156360223-26032007><SPAN class=343332323-26032007><FONT face=Arial size=2>If anyone can shed some light on what is happening on that part of Geyser Hill, especially if there are known eruptions that are not on the list, please let me know!</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=156360223-26032007><SPAN class=343332323-26032007><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=156360223-26032007><SPAN class=343332323-26032007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ralph Taylor</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=156360223-26032007><SPAN class=343332323-26032007><FONT face=Arial size=2><A href="mailto:ralpht@fuse.net">ralpht@fuse.net</A>   (note new email address)</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></DIV></SPAN></DIV></BODY></HTML>
