Summary edit

Description

This is the seismograph station record from the Norris Museum in Yellowstone, Wyoming. The "noise" near the bottom of the graph (click on the image to zoom in) is a major eruption of Steamboat Geyser. It erupted starting at 4:02 PM on Friday, 4 January 2019. Steamboat is the world's tallest geyser. Its eruptions are normally unpredictable - it can go years or even decades without erupting. Steamboat entered an exciting active phase in spring 2018. From fall to the end of 2018, Steamboat continued to erupt about once every 5 to 9 days. This is the 1st eruption of Steamboat Geyser in 2019. 2018 was the most active ever.

Yellowstone's seismograph records are made available to the public in near-real time.
