Whats going on at yellowstone?

That's the 2 I'd keep an eye on being as the swarm has migrated to the NE

Here you go:

EarthQuake M 4.1, Dominican Republic: January 12, 2009 20:59:45 GMT /a7q2z9

earthquakewordl: EarthQuake M 2.6, Southern Alaska: January 12, 2009 20:44:34 GMT /98vlt6

earthquakewordl: EarthQuake M 3.4, Central California: January 12, 2009 20:41:05 GMT

and the one that I saw started at YSB at around 21:11. It was a longish thing so could have been ringing from one of the above. Is there a reason why the stations in the NE region of the park would pick up a far off earthquake more than those further away?

the most probable reasons are:
1) less noise ; better S/N at that station, that time (less wind noise), therefore the AGC has boosted the instrument gain (just looks better !!! , I haven't checked the gain (just a guess ...) ..
2) better coupling of the geophone with well cemented bedrocks below it...
3) better rocks underneath it (ie transmits seismic energy from that direction with less attenuation) ... What kind of rocks within say a 25 km radius half space/sphere , nice & solid & fast(non-attenuative) , or rotten & slow & attenuative (u get the idea ..)
4) better instruments ...

iama thinking this thread is better then sex........... bring on da quakes

quake.usgs.gov...

Wow...now someone tell me...is that one of those dread waves we're all talking about? This is close to The Geysers in Cali

BTW...I"m in Michigan my Cat is acting Crazy as a Bed Bug...What's this mean?

What do you make of this from LKWY?
www.iris.edu...
The peaks at about 21:30 in green.

Is that today? I think that's just weirdly plotted. The webicorder doesn't look anything like that:
www.quake.utah.edu...

Also if that's today I was watching at around that time in GEE and didn't see anything like that.

I think the plotting program isn't properly scaling the data

feed it

Ok finally photos what does this look like to you got off RSEO site went to a close event over to Yellowstone and zoomed in. Could this be ash and lava there are many spots like this. the trees look all burned. Please see for yourself what does it look like.

Looks Fluid to me...Like Waves...Swaying back & Forth...what every 2-3 mins?

Heres another

Looks like steam or fog or clouds to me. I am sure if there was any sort of eruption we would have heard about it by now.

Like we've said before, that is not a real time image. It could have been taken months ago, and if there were an eruption we'd definitely know about it by now.


What it looks like to me is snow, trees, and dirt. Maybe some rocks. Obscured a little bit by clouds.

This is from IRIS
www.iris.edu...
Here is the site
www.iris.edu...
Then click on one of the red boxes with an R (for real time) blue box with an A (for archived)
Then on the next page click on :Webicorder plot of current data"
And yes it is from today

Explain the red....

Is there available somewhere precise location information (latitude, longitude) for Yellowstone Park seismic stations? I want to be able to locate earthquakes myself when I spot them on GEE and I need this data to to determine their distance as it's almost impossible to view P-waves and S-waves on small earthquakes occurring very close to these stations.

Maybe it hasnt erupted but a sign it is going to... Maybe the quakes are breaking the ground in areas. So a little stuff is coming through.
I looked at other areas of the mountian with snow no red....
Explain the red. This was off REOS how do you know when the images were taken... Could be or has to be somewhat real time I think if they let you google to see an event.

Well, there has been this steady up and down rolling on LKWY BHE and BHN all morning, so I had been interpreting that as normal for LKWY (since I just got it going on GEE this morning and it's set so differently from everything else I'm watching.) On the BHZ channel it looks a lot more steady. Honestly, I don't know how to interpret it, I don't really understand the different channels yet. Geogeek, do you have GEE? Could you take a look?

4) better instruments ...

Note : I doubt it could be a seismic wave from the earthquakes U mentioned .. the time differences are just to great (with respect to spectral response i see, i don't think so anyways, I now lean towards the paragraph below wrt avalanche, etc , if it was a very slow ground wave, i'd expect really much lower frequency content than i see [ GEE would be great here ] )...

perhaps we will see an event show up on the pages that corresponds to it (or at least makes sense from a geophysics standpoint) ... so far i see nada .. could be a that we have local event like an avalanche , after-all ....

why I now think it is local event something like an avalanche:

1) high frequency content indicative of "P" waves
2) wrong energy envelope for an earthquake .. earthquakes are front-loaded .. meaning the biggest amplitudes are at the start .. not like this one ... U guys have seen countless examples of front-loaded earthquakes ....

Again, the red is dirt and rocks. If Hungary were taking continuous live satellite images of the US and broadcasting them worldwide I think we'd really need to have a look at their nuclear capability it's not real time. It's not erupting.
