Observations for 2022 August 31


Once again, went out at dawn to check on Fan & Mortar. Once again, it was in Angle mode. Which is was in for the rest of the day. Went on over to Grand, where after two Turban eruption intervals, saw a One Burst Grand under nice, backlit conditions. West Triplet started late in the eruption, and lasted over eight minutes. A bit surprising, since earlier this year West Triplet would be quiet so soon after a Rift eruption.

Then spent almost three hours confirming that Fan & Mortar was not going to show signs of eruption any time soon. Instead, Angle was on continuously, while the rest of the Fan vents were cycling every 20 to 25 minutes. Occasionally they'd look good, especially when starting up (an "Artemisia Lock", named in honor of all those times someone passing by, usually headed to Artemisia, would call on the radio that Fan looked really good, almost in a lock, only to have it do nothing.)

In the early afternoon, Crystal and Belgian were high, with Slurp being flooded. Then it was time to wait for 3-1/2 hours of Turban eruption intervals. After 2-1/2, West Triplet erupted for about 25 minutes. Grand waited three more Turban eruption intervals after the West Triplet end before finally erupting. This turned out to be a two burst eruption, where it took Grand 45 seconds from the Turban start to get going.
