Whats going on at yellowstone?

Ok, so the word is we got some sick seismos at YS. Of course that is nothing new at all. It might explain why a tech was called out. I did not ask if they called one, cause frankly it is none of my business.

But there is a lot of noise being generated, and it possibly could have something to do with the ionosphere- but only on older analog systems. Digital systems are not usually affected, and if they are it is usually completely disruptive. Or so I am told. I was assured that what I saw was nothing of geologic origin. So no, the park is not going to erupt any time soon it seems. Doom over. For now.

Very interesting!!

I discussed this with some classmates today at school (college) and more and more people are taking interest in the Yellowstone caldera .

Thanks for the update.
I'm wondering how long his friend was expecting to be gone? I'll have to have my mom ask if he knows how long he'll be watching his friend's dog. Maybe that can give us some clues.

BTW, what did you mean by "sick" seismos?

reply to post by Afterthought


Well I was trying to keep things simple, but basically, I meant that some stations, or components in the path from seismograph to network, are not operating properly. And this causes all kinds of errors. And it just so happens that two of the stations I saw weird things on are older analog systems subject to things like ionospheric interference, noise, and other telemetry error.

Clear enough?

Yes.
Thank you.

Thanks Anmarie. The bubbles article is very interesting.

He also tracked a persistent tremor clearly linked to movement of water in shallow subsurface cracks

This may explain some of the 'devil noises' I find at yellowstone.

Sound Rools KO!!

Update:

From inside sources- chances are the "seismologist called to YS" story is a bunch of BS. That is said with a "high degree of confidence." Another option was offered, and it basically amounts to what I already suggested- that a tech may have been sent to service a station. Problem is, there is coordination when these things happen. And second problem is, that person would have come out of Utah, not Florida. And, let's just say there has been no coordination. As I said- "high degree of confidence that story is BS."

I have also been informed in no uncertain terms that YS is suffering to a degree from lack of funding. Their networks rarely, if ever, operate at 100% functionality. But monitoring strategy is in effect "over engineered" to provide enough coverage when many stations are down.

I have also been informed that the best option is literally to "write our Congressman" if we would like to see a better state of monitoring for YS. And this should be written in such a way to specify the Yellowstone Seismic Network, which is the program run by the University of Utah, and under contract from the USGS to monitor the park.

Yeah, so here is my letter, and forget Congress.

"Dear Mr. Obama:
Stop spending our money on golf courses, and get the UoU some money to maintain their failing networks. Or you are going to be playing golf on a lava flow.

Thank You Sir."

Me.

Anyone have more experience with whether or not this is normal in Yellowstone...

Well, your sources may be saying BS, but I wasn't making it up.
I haven't heard anything further. If I do, I won't post. I don't come here to be called a liar.

I didn't call YOU a liar. But I suspect either the supposed seismologist or your mom's friend is not telling the truth, or is telling a half truth. Like it probably wasn't Yellowstone where he got called, if he got called at all. People BS. It's just the way it is.

But ok, tell you what, how about pressing your mom's friend directly yourself about this supposed trip. I just found out that there is explicitly no gag orders whatsoever from the government on Yellowstone. None. And I have that from about as reliable a source as there can be. So it makes no sense whatsoever that this "seismologist" couldn't elaborate more on why he got called out to YS. Sounds like your mom probably mentioned YS to someone at work, and they are in effect teasing her with a bogus story, to get her concerned.

That's just my guess. Sorry. Not meant to offend. But if you are going to talk about Yellowstone around ATS, you better realize that some of us are pretty well connected. We can verify these things to a degree. Not 100% in this case, but just about 95%.

Well, whether or not you were calling me a liar, it sure sounded like it.

I'll ask my mom tomorrow how the conversation developed. Since my sister lives right in the epicenter of the Virginia quakes, he may have mentioned it to her for that reason. It would be really mean if they were doing it to cause her more worry. I wouldn't want to suggest that to her though. For the record, my parents don't come on ATS and they don't know that I frequent this site. I will ask her to bring it up again by asking him if his friend's dog is behaving or some other way without seeming blatantly obvious that she's hunting for information.

I'll approach it this way and see what develops.

So, any news on this yet?

reply to post by Doomsday 2029


A better question will be Does Scientics knows its going to happen anytime soon and they don't want us to know?
Since it will bring complete panic world wide.

reply to post by guanicaPR
there are thousands of people that visit the park every day,.
in this time of technological advacement,. a tourist would have the news
out there if something was up at the park

reply to post by TrueAmerican


OK. I just got off the phone with my mom and she said that the guy's friend went out to Yosemite and not Yellowstone. Sorry for the confusion. She may have heard him wrong or he misspoke when telling her the information originally.

what "sick seismos" are you referring to?

YPC doesn't look any better after they put it on 30k microvolts.

Something odd on on the LKWY seismograph on the 27th of February. It seems something happened there around 18:30 UTC but I can't find it reflected on any other seismograph. Even if it was something very locally at 500 microvolts, with this kind of reading we should have seen it reflected on the seismos around there too. Nice glitch I would say.

Yawn

YELLOWSTONE VOLCANO OBSERVATORY MONTHLY UPDATE
Thursday, March 1, 2012 2:32 PM MST (Thursday, March 1, 2012 21:32 UTC)


YELLOWSTONE VOLCANO (CAVW #1205-01-)
44°25'48" N 110°40'12" W, Summit Elevation 9203 ft (2805 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: NORMAL
Current Aviation Color Code: GREEN

During the month of February 2012, the University of Utah Seismograph Stations, reported that 34 earthquakes were located in the Yellowstone National Park region. The largest was a magnitude 1.6 event on February 23 at 12:57 PM MST, located about 9 miles north northeast of Old Faithful, YNP. There were no independent swarms of earthquakes.

Yellowstone earthquake activity continues at relatively low background levels.
Slow subsidence of the caldera, which began in early 2010, continues. Current deformation patterns at Yellowstone are well within historical no]rms.

Sorry it's a little late - twas me b-day and it's still my b-day week and i was a having family time with my little sister a dozen bottles of whipped w/orange juice this past week yum, yum thought i would never make 35 and now 45 = i'm on borrowed time weeeeee.

PS btw - Robin go visit TA's Thread Mr. John is bringing up subjects that may interest you!
