Improvements in magnetic observatory construction and operation in permafrost areas
John B. Townshend
1978, Open-File Report 78-213
The operation of the Barrow, Alaska, magnetic observatory (lat. 71.32°N, long. 156.62°W) has been complicated because foundations for the instrument piers must be constructed on permafrost. Better understanding of environmental conditions and the availability of more modern instrumentation since the original construction have led to the design and construction of...
Maps showing ground-water conditions in the Willcox area, Cochise and Graham Counties, Arizona - 1975
Larry J. Mann, Natalie D. White, R. P. Wilson
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-60
The Willcox area includes about 1,500 square miles in southeastern Arizona. The main use of ground water is for irrigation. For 1954-75, the estimated ground-water pumpage exceeded 100,000 acre-feet per year, and for 1967-75, ground-water pumpage averaged about 300,000 acre-feet per year. Ground-water withdrawals have resulted in general water-level declines...

The Space Oblique Mercator projection, a concept that was originated by Colvocoresses in 1974, has been mathematically implemented as the first map projection to provide continuous mapping of satellite imagery true to scale along the groundtrack, and within a few millionths of accurate conformal projection. Specifically designed for Landsat (formerly...
