<div dir="ltr"><div><div>I may have been the one who mentioned seeing an "aborted" Whirligig eruption as Scott mentions, although it would have been last year rather than this. The memory is fading, but I don't remember seeing any highly anomalous runoff when it happened. My notebook from last season is currently packed up for a trip to Alaska, so I can't check to be sure, but I'm pretty sure we didn't notice anything that would have produced these spikes,<br>
<br></div>Another possibility: might this be a new, very small vent right next to the sensor and therefore invisible from the boardwalk (which would be on top of it)? Proximity that you're not expecting can make small phenomena look like big ones.<br>

<div>Looks like these spikes happen anywhere from zero times per day (two
multi-day episodes in the past month) to once or twice per day. And since 1)
Whirligig is known to have erupted on the date of one of the spikes; and 2)
somebody earlier this season mentioned seeing some sort of "abortedc" eruption
by Whirligig, I shall posit that those spikes are indeed caused by Whirligig.
