Whats going on at yellowstone?

Today's actual/likely/maybe harmonics

Previous YML harmonics (It is all QUITE obvious, need i point it out)

I heard of others on other read outs but I'm to lazy to hunt them down.

Hi, just reading some of the information you guys are posting. Very interesting. Here is some charts you might be interested in viewing. www.seis.utah.edu...

I just saw those individuals again in the red jackets with logos on the Old Faithful webcam. Maybe they are geologists. It was weird because they were there around the same time yesterday when old faithful blew. I saved the webacam pic, but it has been a year since I have posted a pic on a thread, so I need to review how to do it. I am not tech savvy.

Hey Indy, RSOE is an alert map, it shows all the reported news in the world.

As for the harmonic tremors, I posted a link back on pg 61

Here is a link to the different seismographs in Yellowstone uuss webicorder

To spread to really be called a swarm most swarms are almost on top of each other.

On this site you can see two different swarms one about 20 miles north of china lake and one north east about 30 miles.
pasadena.wr.usgs.gov...

The north swarm has been going on for years due to geothermo drilling

The north east swarm is something new and has been going oh for a month with no old history

I live at china lake and was born and raised here so i know the history of earth quakes in the area.

Has anyone noticed all the quakes going on in greece? A few off in turkey too, but they have been going on pretty steadily too.
its on rsoe you cant even see the place there are so many...

Is that a 4.9 nine earthquake in Peru on this map (provided earlier here)?

hisz.rsoe.hu...

If anyone has time, is that normal activity moving from Greece to Turkey this past week?

I'm sorry guys but I don't think those are harmonic. They look more like high frequency quakes than harmonic.

Here is a closeup of harmonic.

The quality of the images from Yellowstone may disguise the harmonic and make it look more like high frequency since you can't get in close enough to really see the fine detail.

OK, I can get behind that, but what would cause a continuous HF quake to last for HOURS. What cause the "noise" we are seeing in the system that seems to be "felt" throughout the park, but does originate from areas around the epicenter of the recent Quakes?

SOOOOO many questions, SOOOOO few seismologists available!

Looks like it is calming down to me. Its not near as bad as it was. It might still put off a good quake, but I dont think there is anything else here. If it still looked like it did a few days ago, then I would be a lot more worried.

for the ypp readings ...I found the lines thicker than earlier... perhaps the sensor is less sensitive ore the flow is deeper.. but from the start of the grafic till now..ithe lines are growing thicker..

??? Not sure what you are getting at the chart you provided clearly showed the "high frequency" quakes as large spikes and the harmonics as a constant line of shaking going on for an extended period of time????

Problem with Yellowstone is that it is a tourist spot. In the winter time you can be picking up all kinds of noise. Snowmobiles are big in the park. You'd likely pick that up big during daylight hours on the land based seismographs. I'm curious what impact shifting ice would have on the lake readings? Would shifting and breaking ice register like this? Has there been a great deal of wind in the park that could have caused this ice movement? You'd likely have a great deal of ice on the lake right now.

Incase this hasnt been posted yet, theres a thread about Webbot and its prediction, which can be interpreted as an earthquake or something else, around the "fertile plains".

There have been numerous tremors on the san andreas fault recently. I'm anticipating that something ####ed up is going to happen, but i'll pray it wont. At least i live in New York.

Seems to be picking up again though, and YML among other seem to be increasing in intensity once more.

This is what you need to watch for, These are from Mount Pinatubo PI

here's the "dip" thing I mentioned re mt. st. helens

it was actually posted by Anned on p. 56

is that like the yellow outlined gap?

Problem is, compared to KNOWN harmonics using these same chart systems, but for Mt Rainer - a few pages back (I don't remember which)... it looked exactly the same.

Harmonic looks nothing like the quakes on those Yellowstone seismographs. They are more of a rolling line and not a shaking line. But the rolling effect could be lost in the quality of the digital seismograph output when shrunk down to a size small enough to fit on one screen. None of us here know unless we have access to a much more detailed image.

Yellowstone has ALWAYS had high traffic, but this is the part of the year where the traffic is at its lowest, so that thoery holds NO water with me. Plus on the 29th the POLLOCKs were during the night and Mary Lake is literally in the middle of nowhere. This is not an artifact in the data, this is something. It looks nothing like a HF quake. It looks more like a very extended version of a harmonic quake. The "noise" we all here are calling harmonic has come and gone for the length of this swarm. It is not easily pushed into one type of definition, but it looks like harmonis to me. Something is flowing at several specific spots in the park.

What is the time scale on this 1 sec to the inch
or 1 min to the inch.

I have seen some that looked just like the above but the were 1 sec per inch
where the utah site is 1 min per inch scale.
