LION GEYSER "Intervals from Ralph Taylor's Hobo Temp as of October 7, 1998" Message from Ralph: The mean series interval and the intervals from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd eruptions have decreased throughout the summer. Mean number of eruptions per series has fallen below 3, 2 is by far the most common series length. Summer Season: Mean Series Interval (initial to initial): 8:27:01 Median Series Interval (initial to initial): 8:01:36 Mean Time Between Series (last to initil): 6:32:05 Median Time Between Series (last to initil): 6:04:00 Mean eruptions per series: 2.724 Median eruptions per series: 2 Mean interval, initial to 2nd 1:17:23 Median interval, initial to 2nd 1:17:12 Mean interval, 2nd to 3rd 1:08:08 Median interval, 2nd to 3rd 1:06:00 Mean interval, 3rd to 4th 1:04:11 Median interval, 3rd to 4th 1:13:12 Mean interval, 4th to 5th 1:08:09 Median interval, 4th to 5th 1:07:12 Mean interval, 5th to 6th 1:06:48 Median interval, 5th to 6th 1:07:00 Date Time Erupion Interval Interval Visual Number Initial eruption in-series to start to Initial next eruption start 6/26/98 22:37:34 Initial 6/26/98 23:55:34 #2 1:18:00 6/27/98 9:57:10 Initial 11:19:36 10:01:36 9:57 Ralph Taylor 6/27/98 11:13:58 #2 1:16:48 11:13:27 Ralph Taylor 6/27/98 12:23:58 #3 1:10:00 12:23:15 Ralph Taylor 6/27/98 13:29:58 #4 1:06:00 6/27/98 23:12:22 Initial 13:15:12 9:42:24 6/28/98 0:29:34 #2 1:17:36 6/28/98 9:12:46 Initial 10:00:48 8:43:12 9:13:38 Ralph Taylor 6/28/98 10:32:22 #2 1:19:36 10:31:53 Ralph Taylor 6/28/98 11:36:46 #3 1:04:24 11:36:04 Ralph Taylor 6/28/98 19:30:22 Initial 10:17:36 7:53:36 6/28/98 20:53:58 #2 1:23:36 6/28/98 21:59:10 #3 1:05:36 6/29/98 12:07:34 Initial 16:37:12 14:08:24 12:07:07 Ralph Taylor 6/29/98 13:26:22 #2 1:19:12 13:25:55 Ralph Taylor 6/29/98 14:31:58 #3 1:05:36 14:31:25 Ralph Taylor 6/29/98 15:38:22 #4 1:06:24 15:37:44 Ralph Taylor 6/30/98 4:09:58 Initial 16:02:48 6/30/98 5:28:46 #2 1:18:48 5:27 Steve Robinson 6/30/98 6:34:22 #3 1:06:00 6:34 Steve Robinson 6/30/98 12:35:34 Initial 8:25:36 6:01:12 6/30/98 13:49:58 #2 1:14:24 13:49ie Ralph Taylor 6/30/98 15:07:34 #3 1:17:36 6/30/98 16:07:10 #4 0:59:36 16:06:45 Ralph Taylor 7/1/98 0:49:10 Initial 12:13:36 8:42:00 7/1/98 2:09:10 #2 1:20:00 7/1/98 10:14:46 Initial 9:26:00 8:05:36 10:14:30 Ralph Taylor 7/1/98 11:35:10 #2 1:20:13 7/1/98 12:35:58 #3 1:00:48 7/1/98 21:15:34 Initial 11:00:48 8:39:36 7/1/98 22:40:22 #2 1:24:48 7/1/98 23:53:34 #3 1:13:12
