I had been mulling the idea of sending a question to Evelyn Roeloff or John Langbein, but I haven't because I always feel like I'm pulling someone away from more important work. I guess I will work on composing a concise question and fire it off. Thanks for the push!

Another one dreamfox1, Mag 5.3 a bit deep, south of Tokyo. I don't wanted to see a big one in this area.

Quite a few 3's and 4's in that junction area in the last couple of months!!

Just sayin'!

Another small one:

3.3
81km WSW of Ferndale, California
2014-02-10 19:09:54 UTC10.6 km

It's only been 4 years since the most recent strong quake offshore Eureka, CA (Mag 6.5 on 10 Jan 2010), and almost 9 years since the last Mag 7+.

Could be something big coming, but who knows? The GPS in the area intrigues me--many of the stations are deviating from their trends in a manner similar to just prior to the mag 7.1 in 2005, but we don't have GPS records going back much further than that. So they could just be showing a longer cycle pattern, and aren't "forecasting" anything.

I wish I could live a few hundred years just to see how all of this plays out.

11 quakes in that FAR E OFF SANRIKU (Off East Coast Of Honshu. Japan) series, and that is only to half way through the 10th Jan UTC day.
Data is off JMA, rather than NIED who don't usually pick up the "far off the coast" quakes in the preliminary data.
interactive map of what I just said
JMA full days reviewed data for the 10th won't be available for another 6 hrs.




This reviewing time lag is a bit of a PITA, to keep a decent archive you virtually have to do the process twice, the networks have various time lags before the reviewed data comes out, I just did Kefalonia for the 9th, off NOA, and got about 20 odd events for the whole of Greece, so thought that was it, things had quietened down there.
But then I had another look 24 hrs later and they had 91 !!!
China's the same, takes about 24hrs. Maybe I should step back and wait 24 hrs or even wait till the end of the month.
Would be less work for archiving, but doesn't help with seeing trends in a relevant timely fashion

What is going on in the Mammoth Lakes area?

317 quakes in the last 7 days, according to USGS. 55 just today.

Just wondering...

Oh here, I found some news

Long Valley caldera (California, USA): small earthquake swarm east of Mammoth Mountain

www.volcanodiscovery.com...

An small earthquake swarm at shallow depths (around 5 km) occurred east of Mammoth Mountain during the past week. The largest quake was a magnitude 3.0 event on 5 Feb.
This latest (of many in the past years) seismic swarm is weak in terms of number and energy of earthquakes compared to long-term averages of seismic activity at the Long Valley caldera, an active volcanic system that is capable to erupt (probably not in a near future, though) and is being closely monitored by very experienced staff from USGS.
It could be related to a small intrusion of magma, but is unlikely to be a precursor of a new eruption in any near future. USGS has not changed the status code of the volcanic system (at green=normal).

It can be seen on most of the surrounding stations as well.
Wasn't happy with Mammoth getting all the attention...

YPM

Mammoth is showing 64 EQs in the last 24 hours so far.

you are always on top of it!! seen a large p wave coming into yellowstone... knew something was up... good job!!

guess that the weird bended lines on YNR / YMR are caused by the 5000 cubic km magma vibrating like an yelly pudding after the china tremor?

I don't know if anyone else has noticed but all the Yellowstone recorders have had the location changed from -- to 01 so where it was for example YUF.WY..HHZ it is now YUF.WY.01.HHZ

The links in QVSData, if you use that, in the webicorder need to be deleted and re-added to your favourites.

I could not find a plot for Upper Falls which was what set me looking. Here is the 'jelly' (English) 'jello' (American) at YUF with the new location. YUF.WY.01.HHZ.2014.043_h800_w800

ETA looks as if the change was 9 days ago.

@Puters...how's the weather with you looking Puters?....shaking your house much yet? Thinking of you.

what you need is an interactive map of those;

(click image for interactive map,
opens in new tab/window)

Thats made from USGS data 02-12 Feb (last 10 days), once in the interactive mode zoom out and you can get all the USGS for the whole Planet!
All this was on GSAIM USGS maps ............ I didn't notice it, as the swarm is quite confined geographically to Mammoth Mt.
Sure got enough ski-lifts there! LOL
