<br> Have I missed something, or is this the first known eruption of North Goggles since September of 2004? I suppose the electronic monitor must have been moved off of it years ago by now?<br><br>David Schwarz<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"> On Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 7:56 PM, Graham Meech <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:meechg@verizon.net">meechg@verizon.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-stretch: inherit;" valign="top"> <div> <blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px;"> <div>Not much time to report on geyser activity as I have returned from a great week in the basin and have immediately gone on travel for work. Here are the key items that might be of use to observers.</div> <div> </div> <div>Depression was going very frequently on intervals of 2h15m - 2h50m. It is probably bi-modal since it comes up and tries to erupt early in the window (heavy overflow and big bubbles) and it either erupts or drops a few inches and then slowly refills and tries again 25-30 minutes later and it succeeded on all the second attempts.</div> <div> </div> <div>The biggest surprise for me was <span>Aurum</span> erupting on intervals of 3h17m - 3h27m - yes only a 10min window for the 5 closed intervals I observed. Quite remarcable given its usual eratic behavior. The splashing steadily built up so it was fairly easy to figure out when to stay and watch it. Whenever it started near-continuous splashing above the rim it was a good time to stay and wait a few minutes for an eruption.</div> <div> </div> <div>Dome was active for 4 days (Tues-Fri). Intervals increased from just over 20 minutes to over 40 minutes as the series progressed.</div> <div> </div> <div>I saw one North Goggle minor on Friday (I think). It was boiling at depth when I walked by and I waited and it erupted on the first rise. This was about 3 hours after the last Lion eruption in a series. I watched to see if it had any more eruptions but it boiled up once but failed to erupt and then stopped boiling.</div> <div> </div> <div>All Grand eruptions observed during the week (I think it was 5) had 2 bursts. Not a very big sample size but its nice to come away with a 2 burst average after the recent lean years.</div> <div> </div> <div>More to come later but these are the most significant items I can remember off the top of my head now. I will try and post some more info on Sunday.</div> <div> </div> <div>Graham.</div></blockquote></div></td></tr></tbody></table><br>_______________________________________________<br> Geysers mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu">Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu</a><br> <a href="https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers" target="_blank">https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers</a><br></blockquote></div><br>
