Description of the data and file structure
Yellowstone Upper Basin Geyser Binary Eruption Data (April 2007- October 2008)
This database contains binary eruption data for 10 Geysers (Beehive, Castle, Depression, Dome, Grand, Lion, Little Squirt, Old Faithful, Plate, and Plume) over 19 consecutive months (April 2007- October 2008) at a sampling interval of 6 minutes. The data are all contained in one CSV file where each row represents a time and each column represents a geyser. Geysers are abbreviated as follows:
- BE: Beehive
- CA: Castle
- DE: Depression
- DO: Dome
- GR: Grand
- LN: Lion
- LS: Little Squirt
- OF: Old Faithful
- PT: Plate
- PM: Plume
Code/Software
The code used to analyze these data are accessible via the Supplementary Information of the published research article associated with this dataset (DOI: 10.1029/2021JB023749).
Geyser eruptions were monitored using sensors that record temperature in outflow channels. Temperature data was mapped to binary (1/0) time series, with ones indicating an eruption. Eruptions were characterized by a rapid, short increase in temperature (typically temperature peaks above 50°C, implemented using Python's peakutils function). To minimize false positive eruptions in the temperature records, we relied on an independent observation-based dataset consisting of IBE assessments from collocated temperature sensors deployed by GOSA to specify a minimum distance between temperature peaks for each geyser.
