Whats going on at yellowstone?

1:15 MST is the 'ringing' that will come from a 'large' far away quake.
It looks like a saw-tooth if you will, and it will show on many sites.

The waves that start small, reach a high point, and end small are also distant quakes.

Now if it starts 'big' and ends small then you have a quake. Sometimes you will see a 'spike' before that quake kicks off, if it is far enough to register. If they are close that spike will be merged with the rest of the quake pattern.

I am beginning to thing that the Nevada Quake that was reported, is likely to be ruled as part of another quake.

So we are at 4 quakes over 3.0 it seems.

We'll see what the USGS People say tomorrow.

Thanks - Ive been curious about that..

Anyone know where to find airborne thermal infared images of Yellowstone? Recent?

Just catching up ...
This must be the EQ you're reporting.

3.8 Earthquake Confirmed on Idaho-Wyoming Border

EASTERN IDAHO, WESTERN WYOMING - The United State Geological Survey has confirmed an earthquake with a 3.8 magnitude hitting on the Idaho-Wyoming border around 9:15 p.m. Thursday.

Viewers from Swan Valley and Palisades, Idaho as well as Alpine and Jackson Hole, Wyoming describe their beds shaking, hearing their walls crack, feeling a tremor and shaking.

This reminds me of hoe EQ's tracked SW through Utah to the SoCal M4.5...now it seems their trending back up the west of Cali up into Nevada...the "Y" Effect on Snake River Plains?

Hi all - so much to catch up on again. But can someone answer while I plow through 30 pages...

Is the thinking still that we're getting altered data from utah on the charts compared to GEE?

Are all the quakes you're monitoring showing up eventually on USGS or not?

I think we should get some more tiny screen shots because when we go back and look at links - they don't show us the pages we were looking at they show us current pages.

annoying

Geez...now i can't remember who created the Yellowstone thumbnail Seismo Layout Display Webpage but here's something to add to it...

Hi. That was me. I actually thought about including a refresh, but... that page really is a power-hog. I even had to offload the thumbnail generation to another (quad-processor) machine that also serves as my desktop; it doesn't cache them, each one is generated on-the-fly as they're requested. You've probably also noticed it lags behind the live trace images by up to half an hour. I have it tuned so it downloads one full set of images from all the active seismos every half hour, pausing 1.5 minutes between each image so it takes it easy on their servers. (20 active stations divided into half an hour is 1.5 minutes each.) In brief, a refresh interval of less than half an hour would be sort of excessive. But I digress, I guess. Reload the page as often as you want by hand, I don't mind, I wouldn't have it up otherwise... but auto-refreshes would put a lot more strain on my poor boxes.

Did I mention it's a cable modem?

By the way. I see others mentioning on here that they can "feel something coming." Put another tally under that column for me. It ain't just quakes, either. The whole world just... feels weird. Everything looks subtly different, like it's all fading away or something. I can't put it into words. Maybe Art Bell's "Quickening" is finally coming to a head. Where is he when we need him? Oh, yeah. The Philippines. Sigh.

(Edited to correct 2:00 AM math. Sigh again.)

To Quakewatcher and the rest:

Turned the sensitivity up? I don't know. One possibility. Yes it is weird though. It's a weird looking signal, mostly coming through on the BHE channel, and it looks like it folds back in on itself. I have no idea what any of this means, it would be cool if some of our electric engineers would pop in and take a look, it's much easier to see than when it was smaller.

LKWY 1/15/09

The weird looking things we're seeing now, I dunno. They really don't look like EQs though. Something cultural, or what I really don't know.

I assume these are the pipe cleaner things that have been mentioned?

I notice it's a local phenomena at LKWY. It could be "Ice Worms" or "Ohm Bugs".. To be more serious, cold weather or moisture could be causing an "intermittent" in a solder joint or some other connection creating noise, or it could be capacitance change in a particular component causing hum, although I think the latter is less likely. The waveform seems to look too tight.

This is the kind of stuff that can drive field technicians crazy...

Of course, I could be totally wrong on this although I've seen lots of this stuff go on at mountain top repeater sites(especially during the winter) for a long time, ever since I started working with radio...

I wonder if all those microspikes on YLT, YLA and YTP are due to breaking ice on the surface of Yellowstone lake. They seem to occur more frequently than usual, and they are more noticeable on GEE than on webicorder plots.

Kinda funny. I've actually wondered the same thing. It has warmed a little in the Park the last couple of days which could cause a little shift in the ice. I've been there in the winter and you can sure hear it crack...

While we're here, if you can give me a quick overview of GEE and a web site to go to, I'd sure appreciate it. That way it will save me a bunch of time not having to go back a jillion pages on this thread..

Thanks a million.. Back to work... I'm on graveyard tonight.

Regards, Ric...

You can download it here:
GEE home page

After you installed and started it, select Real-Time viewer.
Then, when the world map appears, click File>Edit>Station Chooser

From Station Chooser, select "Add Network". A new window will appear
From there, find and click "WY - Yellowstone Wyoming Seismic Network".
Close the "Add Network" window, and from the "Station Chooser" window, scroll stations down until you find those which start with "WY". These are the stations you can also see on the University of Utah Webicorder page.
Select the stations you want with the left mouse button while pressing the Control key on your keyboard to allow multiple selection.
When you're done, under "Orientations" select "All Channels".
Then, under "All Channels" select EHZ.
Close the "Station Chooser" Window, then on the button bar on the world map screen press "Load Real-Time Data".

Then, real time seismic data will start to appear under the Real Time Viewer tab.

Once you figure out how it works you can start adding more stations. Beware though, that other ones may use different channels that you have to select to view realtime data.

Actually it started in Utah tracked SW to SoCal M4.5 event and has been backtracking up W Cali into Nevada now up to Colo? Maybe back to YS?

reply to post by Greenize


~M7.4 event...either the Indo area if it refleccted 45 by 45 S (doh it did) & PR area & atlantic ridge area (looking back it did doh) on the straight through path? Looks like a line moving through Europe out to mid Atlantic ridge also?

Good morning all,

In case not all have found it, I will link some earthquake pages:

www.iris.edu... (This one is kind of nice I think).

www.earthquakecloudpredictions.com...

aslwww.cr.usgs.gov...

www.seis.utah.edu...

Here is the map showing both those VERY ODD quakes:

This guy has been very accurate in his earthquake predictions:

This is pretty cool really.

By the way it looks like Yellowstone is very silent today or ?
