With thanks again to Jake and Will, here is a little something the proves I have too much idle time on my hands. See the attached PDF.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Looking that the data for Fountain Geyser, as posted by Jake, a number of curious things can be see when that data is merged with known Morning Geyser eruption episodes. And a lot can be inferred/hypothesized.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>We know that this summer (2012), most Fountain intervals were in the range of 9 to 12 hours. Longer intervals (especially though not exclusively any longer than 13 hours) deserve attention. With just two exceptions (one being the Fountain-Morning dual eruption of October 30), all Morning eruptions were associated with Fountain intervals longer than 12 hours.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So we look at the Fountain data. It is easy to find Fountain-Fountain intervals near or longer than 13 hours. Were any of these "caused" by Morning erupting during that interval? Probably so, I think.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Consider also the known intervals from the last Fountain before Morning to Morning. Here excepting only that dual event, these intervals were: 6h 00m, 7h 26m, 7h23m, 7h 04m, 7h 00m, and 7h 03m. (Interestingly consistent, yes?) </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>OK, so look, for example, at July 20, 2012. Fountain erupted at 0714. Another Fountain would not have been anticipated until after 1600 at the earliest and probably closer to 1800. So, was anybody (gazer, that is) out there looking at, say, 1400? Likely not. Did Morning erupt then? Maybe so, though we'll probably never know.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Jake apparently did not know about the second eruption on October 30, but based on durations inferred in the electronic data, he also hypothesized an eruption on October 22, as I did using the long interval.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>By the way, per my hypotheses in the PDF, the Morning to Morning intervals in rounded-off days are really quite similar to such intervals noted by Marler in the 1940s and 1950s.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now who is going to shoot this down? (Hi, Maureen!) I anticipate that some of this will be annihilated, but maybe not all.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
