Whats going on at yellowstone?

The Old Faithful stream webcam shows no eruption or red clouds or lava flowing or burned trees. Looks quite normal to me.

And ya, if it had blown its top, even just a little, there would be sirens and every news channel would be...excuse the pun..."hot" on the story.


Cheers!!!!

It's dirt.

And what difference would it make if the image is literally years old?

You need to realize that these are NOT real-time images. They're just archived satellite images to show the topography.

As I pointed out earlier, on Google Earth, I can see where I work, and a building that has been there for a number of years does not show up in the image for that location.

Should I conclude that the building has vanished and that it has been replaced with the exact same cow path that used to be there before the building was built?

No. Rather I conclude that the image is very old.

I don't think there are any real-time images from YNP other than the webcam at Old Faithful.

I think than BHZ is the up & down motion
BHE & BHN are side to side

no GEE yet .. I had a look at the web LKWY, i don't see anything too abnormal ..

fer U guys , I would advise U not to look at the "E" & "N" components , (use "Z" or "V" ).. E & N pick up the SV & SH waves which are slow to very slow depending what wave is coming in , the "V" -or alias- "Z" is/are the most straight forward .. E & N easily could be signals coming in from California up to an hour later, or so ...

doubt that this helps ....

FYI Just for future note, there was a little sumpin at YLT just before 22:30. Showed up on a few other nearby webicorders. Right at the same time that YML started to - I believe the technical term is - wig out. But YML is always wigging out due to wind/etc, so it's probably just a coincidence.

No, that does help. I had been ignoring E and N because they were so out there. I guess I'll go back to doing that. By the way there was just a 5.1 in Indonesia so expect a little ringing soon.

Thanks ! That does explain what is happening. and then the LHZ is just a lower freq.

Just read through all 337 pages (lol) and it took me an entire week


Guys, Yellowstone is not going to erupt in our lifetimes. Stop watching webicorders and go out and take walks. This thread has turned grim and is starting to go into delusion zone, i get the sense people want this to happen.

guess i'll have to get gee working in order to figure out what LHZ is (to make sure I haven't mislead U ) ... avoid shear wave detectors /components .. U can't always avoid shear waves, SV will show up on Z , but as a delay wrt to the first arrival of the "Z" component of the P wave .. go for the high frequency events if in doubt ...

Something is going on. Wierd.

I have not been using GEE much, mostly IRIS
www.iris.edu...
I think that the LHZ is just a lower Freq.

Okay... Yall seem to be the experts... If you say its all okay then I just hope that you are correct...

the plotting is absolutely terrible here .. use the link i posted earlier ... I understand your "low frequency" comment now ...

Ok I'm a Newby here so take it easy on me !!!!! So I have some question for you, If I can make it past the MOD squad LOL. Here you go
1. Why does YS have a real time EQ map that's not real time ???? I mean come on they can tell what mag a EQ is in Nome why not in YS,
2. Why no info on the DOME underneath the lake. I think that's kinda Important MAYBEE.
3. Is there somebody who is giving us updates from Yellowstone lake other then the GOV or Journalist.

Last off all thanks for the great sight its fun reading for sure. Ok that's me kissing up so they might post this..

The reason that I have been using IRIS is fewer "gaps" in the data.

That's that dogone volcanic vent again. They said that there would be eruptions aroung the caldera and then the ceiling would collapse.

You don't understand... He want to believe that there is a full scale eruption going on and that he has discovered it and the government is hiding it. He's not likely to accept much in the way of ration until enough time has gone by that he can theorize aliens came down and cleaned it up or the government used a HAARP machine to zap it.

I really enjoyed this thread when it was empirical and rational, and there was something tangible to be worried about.

NASA @work:

ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer)

This links to the flight schedule of an imaging instrument flying on Terra, a satellite launched in December 1999 as part of NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS). ASTER is a cooperative effort between NASA, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and Japan's Earth Remote Sensing Data Analysis Center (ERSDAC). ASTER is being used to obtain detailed maps of land surface temperature, reflectance and elevation. The three EOS platforms are part of NASA's Science Mission Directorate and the Earth-Sun System, whose goal is to observe, understand, and model the Earth system to discover how it is changing, to better predict change, and to understand the consequences for life on Earth.

Remarkably, this month they tour nothing but volcanos ! Yellowstone has has made it twice on the roster, for the 22. and 25.

#1 human eyeballing required to pick first arrivals if poor S/N conditions, for several stations, at least ... then input into computer, or pencil/paper and velocity tables to pick location, I doubt if NOME is real time BTW ... perhaps they have an experimental program that will try to do it, but I wouldn't believe it's results .. Here in the oil & gas exploration world we have first break picking programs (i have written one or two , or tried to ) , in the very best cases (best S/N) U can maybe get 98-99% success ... it gets a lot lot worse if if poor S/N

#2 it would be great to have a station right on top of Dome, but there are other stations SO close, that I doubt if anything important escapes their Vigilence [seismically speaking] (as long as they are working) .. a real time temperature monitor might be neat, though ... real time chemistry, too ...

#3) I'm a Canuck, so not a member of the PTB or NWO or ... , seems to me that USGS & UT are doing pretty good work , u guys should be proud of USGS, its a class act, really ...
