Reporting today:

- http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n0604/04deepimpact/

--- Tempel 1 is usually a rather dim, weak comet with a water production rate of 16,000 tonnes per day. However, after the Deep Impact probe hit the comet this rate increased to 40,000 tonnes per day over the period 5-10 days after impact. Over the duration of the outburst, the total mass of water released by the impact was 250,000 tonnes. ---

The graph is a bit small, but whatever the values are, they go from between 5-10 as a baseline, to around 50 a few days later. Nothing particularly ambiguous about that.
