Table 1. Characteristics of ground-water temperature data-collection sites at and in the vicinity of the Nevada Test Site, Nye, Clark, and Lincoln Counties, Nevada.

[USGS site identification No.: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) site identification number. Each site is identified by a unique 15-digit number based on the original latitude-longitude of the site. The first six digits denote degrees, minutes, and seconds of latitude; the next seven digits denote degrees, minutes, and seconds of longitude; and the last two digits are the sequence number of the well within the 1-second grid of latitude and longitude. The assigned number is retained as a permanent identifier even if a more precise latitude and longitude are later determined. To determine the geographic location of a well, the latitude and longitude coordinates should be used rather than the site identifier. Latitude and Longitude: In decimal degrees; referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83). Land-surface altitude: Altitude relative to sea level. Sea level refers to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 1929). Depth drilled: Total depth to which the hole was drilled, in feet below land-surface. Well depth: Accessible depth of the well, in feet below land surface. Well depths are obtained from drilling records or field measurements. Open interval: Depth range, in feet below land surface, within the well where, if surrounding lithologic units are saturated, ground water may enter. The open interval of the well may be openings in the casing and (or) uncased borehole. When more than one open interval occurs in a well, depths are in feet below land surface to the top of the uppermost opening and the bottom of the lowermost opening. Hydrogeologic unit: Principal hydrogeologic unit contributing water to the well. B, basement confining unit; C, carbonate-rock aquifer; F, valley-fill aquifer; S, Eleana confining unit; V, volcanic-rock aquifers and confining units; X, other (granitic stocks). Ground-water flow system or subbasin: The ground-water flow system or, when defined, ground-water subbasin where the well is located. Ground-water subbasins are subdivisions of the Death Valley ground-water flow system (Laczniak and others, 1996). AFFCR, Alkali Flat-Furnace Creek Ranch ground-water subbasin; AM, Ash Meadows ground-water subbasin; DTVSU, Death Valley ground-water flow system, undivided; OV, Oasis Valley ground-water subbasin; RDVSU, Railroad Valley ground-water flow system, undivided; SCMU, South-Central Marshes ground-water flow system, undivided. Available ground-water temperature data: Periodic, periodic ground-water temperature measurements available; Profile, periodic ground-water temperature and ground-water temperature profile measurements available. Abbreviations: –, unknown]
