Comparison of a few recording current meters in San Francisco Bay, CA
R. T. Cheng
1978, Conference Paper, Proceedings, Conference on Current Measurements
A team of research scientists in the U.S. Geological Survey uses San Francisco Bay, California, as an outdoor laboratory to study complicated interactions of physical, chemical, and biological processes which take place in an estuarine environment. A current meter comparison study was conceived because of the need to select a...
Orthogonal mapping: A computer program for quantifying shape differences
T. Huffman, R. A. Christopher, J. E. Hazel
1978, Computers & Geosciences (4) 121-130
Quantitative differences in the shape of two or more objects can be obtained by Orthogonal Mapping provided coincidental or analogous points can be identified on each object. The least-squares difference between each set of analogous points is determined by use of a projective transformation of a set of measured points...
Wetland classification in the United States
L.M. Cowardin
1978, Journal of Forestry (76) 666-668
Wetland is part of a continuum of land types between deep water and dryland. Only one wetland classification was available for the United States prior to preparation of the new system described here, but numerous regional and special-purpose classifications are in use. The new classification is hierarchical, progressing from five...
Biochemical identification of mallard-black duck hybrids through a breeding program and in nature
R.P. Morgan II, D. W. Meritt, S. B. Block, M. Cole
1978, Transactions of the Northeast Section of the Wildlife Society, Annual Fish and Wildlife Conference (35) 225-236
From 1974 to 1976, a breeding program was used to produce black duck-mallard hybrids for the evaluation of inheritance patterns of serum proteins and esterases. In addition to the initial crosses, a series of matings in 1975 and 1976 were designed to evaluate inheritance patterns in hybrid matings with either...
Impact of potential phosphate mining on the hydrology of Osceola National Forest, Florida
James A. Miller, G.H. Hughes, R. W. Hull, John Vecchioli, P. R. Seaber
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-6
Potentially exploitable phosphate deposits underlie part of Osceola National Forest, Fla. Hydrologic conditions in the forest are comparable with those in nearby Hamilton County, where phosphate mining and processing have been ongoing since 1965. Given similarity of operations, hydroloigc effects of mining in the forest are predicted. Flow of stream...
Evaluating call-count procedures for measuring local mourning dove populations
M.J. Armbruster, T.S. Baskett, W.R. Goforth, K.C. Sadler
1978, Transactions of the Missouri Academy of Science (12) 75-90
Seventy-nine mourning dove call-count runs were made on a 32-km route in Osage County, Missouri, May 1-August 31, 1971 and 1972. Circular study areas, each 61 ha, surrounding stop numbers 4 and 5, were delineated for intensive nest searches and population estimates. Tallies of cooing male doves along the entire...
Atlantic Flyway review: Region V: Laurel, Prince Georges County, MD (390-0765)
Chandler S. Robbins
1978, North American Bird Bander (3) 69-69
Back-yard banding above the Patuxent River gorge was limited to early mornings and evenings on 28 days from 20 August through 12 October, and four full days within the same period.Although the number of birds captured per 100 net-hours was well above average in each of the three months, the...
Fecundity of the bloater (Coregonus hoyi) in Lake Michigan
Lee Emery, Edward H. Brown Jr.
1978, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (107) 785-789
Using ovaries sampled seasonally from Lake Michigan bloaters in 1968-1969, we determined that one complement or modal group of eggs is produced each year and spawned mainly during January, February, and March. Fecundities estimated for 65 fish taken in October ranged from 3,230 eggs in one medium-size bloater (241 mm...
Geodimeter measurements and the Southern California uplift
W.H. Prescott, J.C. Savage
1978, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (10) 131-135
Modern surveying instruments, such as geodimeters, are capable of measuring distances in the range of 1 to 30 kilometers with remarkable precision. Indeed, the present limitation upon the precision of measurement is not the resolution of the instruments themselves but rather the uncertainty introduced by variations in the velocity of...
