Whats going on at yellowstone?

I assure you it is not wind.

Check back in the thread and you will see a link for 10, I REPEAT 10 YEARS, of data from LMY and LKWY. Nothing in 10 years looks like wata has been occurring in the last week.

If you think that they are using some setup that would be that sensitive to wind, you must be retarded. Plus, on the UoU website they clearly show what wind disturbance looks like.





And if you look at YML now and over the last couple days you see this:

YML data

I am to believe a #ing tornado has sporaticly been visiting the park ?

You know earlier when we had those two good ones YTP hadnt picked up on them now a few hours later its showing on the graph...??
It had been giggling along all that time I even posted about it. WEIRD

gentle now - we all had the same wind question at first.



are you all noticing that the charts are like 6 minutes slow?

they should be at the :30 at 9:30 PST

Are you trying to say that we are in for a non-water eruption?

This is from the Wiki on seismometers

One of the continuing problems with sensitive vertical seismographs is the buoyancy of their masses. The uneven changes in pressure caused by wind blowing on an open window can easily change the density of air in a room enough to cause a vertical seismograph to show spurious signals.

I would guess that any open aperature would have the same effect.

YVO's page gives little information on the types of equipment they are currently using.

I'll look again tomorrow - last night's revelries have taken a toll on me today and it's about time for bed

It is part of the whole system but you do not have to go that far.
The slip faults along the Cal coast are sliding north to the Juan de Fuco. pushing the Juan in under the NW. They now believe that the Jaun extends farther in and at a shallower depth than before. The inner corner if you will of the Jaun pivots at /near Y.

Night,
see you later

Wow! That was a nice little mini-swarm about 15 minutes ago. As for the "noise" in the system, what we are want to label harmonics, I don't see how it could be wind related. If it were wind driven these readings would be showing up throught the data for YEARS. It is windy in Yellowstone far too frequently. Also one of these noisy periods was happening in the past few days at a point when the winds were at zero MPH with gusts of 3MPH. we need to begin to define the begining and end of these harmonic periods and note the wind speeds every 15 minutes during the duration of the event.

I am thinking with all the event movements under the lake that that might be a stress relief moment. We should probably be seeing a few more of those around the lake/ surrounding area.

Everyone's saying that they think it was a manually entered mistype.
I just wanted to know what the basis of that speculation was. If so, wouldn't they see it as we have and correct it at some point? I don't know.

I notice that the post defending those of us who live in the squeaking blast zone has been deleted. I honestly think that many posters would have a different perspective (or at least a different sense of urgency) if they were to come on up to Wyoming and do some writing. You might have a great front row seat man!

The purpose of my post was to stop the wind theorizing, I personally did not believe it could be the case, and was to put a stop to the wind theory.

I don't appreciate the insulting reply, regardless.

I hate to be this guy but..... Could someone start a new thread on this with all pertinent information so the rest of us don't have to wade through a few thousand posts? One thread starting with data links would be great! I would do it but am far too lazy and know absolutely nothing about this sort of thing.

I think, but I may be wrong, that this is a picture of where the collector is located at LKW, judging from this if it is located inside that housing I would think it would be pretty hard for wind to be a factor in all of this.

I also found the borehole drawing for the seismo there (there is a link on the page but this will take you right to it)...LKW Borehole Drawing

Think of it like this.
You have a rolled out piece of clay.
from underneath a point there is a lot of movement..up , down, sideways.
Pretty soon you are going to see small cracks opening up at a distance from that point.
the fabric of the clay can not accommodate the the mix movement at the point.
The fabric will have other areas that need to give.

PS Sageturkey,
I worry about you and others who may be too close.
Did you get your Gas?

It's not a bad idea -

Man - I'm tired. We're all tired. The last 10 pages have even had grumpiness which the first 90 didn't at all.

Can you imagine how tired the scientists are - after almost 9 days of this crazy stuff. Every time we think it's safe to step away due to life - when we come back it's acting up and wild again. Imagine if we were paid to be analyzing all this stuff and there was real scary pressure from some worrying stats as well. They must be wiped out.

We've just been guessing and talking and I'm wiped.

Okay we offically have a prob with the wind therory.... the borehole drawings for it are; a hammer drilled 800 FEET down!
The first 142 feet is clay then rhyolite the rest of the way down..... no cord is going to make that much of a shake on an 800 foot shaft.
The actual SEISMOMETER is close to 515 feet down with the STRAINMETER at 529 to 535 feet down... WIND IS OUT FOLKS

So you personally think it's a valid entry but that it's not anything of significance? I was just wondering becuase a few others were pretty surprised to see it and wrote it off as a mistake.

I see your analogy but it just seemed kinda deep. Anyone know where I can find a chart containing average, min and max depths for this event?

Thanks

I'm tired too, gonna go get smokes and retire.
Thanks Mushussu, I think other may have written me off as some kind of alarmist. Just concerned, that's all. Can't sit and do nothing if there's something I can do about it. Other than digging a canal from the Pacific.

Agreed. Im wiped. I am going to bed now. I have been rereading stuff off this site. My mind is flowing with information. Tomorrow I will have more to say. Hopefully I will wake up to peace and calm. I highly doubt it though..


See ya all tomorrow.
