CONTOUR; a modification of G.I. Evenden's general purpose contouring program
R. H. Godson, M. W. Webring
1982, Open-File Report 82-797
A contouring program written for the DEC-10 computer (Evenden, 1975) has been modified and enhanced to operate on a Honeywell Multics 68/80 computer. The program uses a device independent plotting system (Wahl, 1977) so that output can be directed to any of several plotting devices by simply specifying one input...

Hydraulic geometry of the Platte River in south-central Nebraska
T.R. Eschner
1982, Open-File Report 82-436
At-a-station hydraulic-geometry of the Platte River in south-central Nebraska is complex. The range of exponents of simple power-function relations is large, both between different reaches of the river, and among different sections within a given reach. The at-a-station exponents plot in several fields of the b-f-m diagram, suggesting that morphologic...
