Estimating peak flow characteristics at ungaged sites by ridge regression
Gary D. Tasker
1982, Open-File Report 82-333
A regression simulation model, is combined with a multisite streamflow generator to simulate a regional regression of 50-year peak discharge against a set of basin characteristics. Monte Carlo experiments are used to compare the unbiased ordinary lease squares parameter estimator with Hoerl and Kennard's (1970a) ridge estimator in which the...
Bibliography of U.S. Geological Survey studies of lakes and reservoirs; the first 100 years
Thomas C. Winter
1982, Circular 859
For more than 100 years, the U.S. Geological Survey has pursued its mission of assessing and mapping the earth resources of the United States, including assessment of the Nation's water resources. Although the Survey has never been a water-management or development agency, it has assisted agencies that are responsible for...

1982, Open-File Report 82-691
Surface-water samples were collected on a monthly basis for the period April 1981-March 1982 from six sites within the Barataria Marsh Unit of the Jean Lafitte National Historic Park, Louisiana. The sites were located on Bayou Segnette, Kenta Canal , and Millaudon Canal. Biological, chemical, and physical analyses were performed....

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...

The design of a microprocessor-based data logger
K.J. Leap, L.A. Dedini
1982, Open-File Report 82-167
The design of a microprocessor-based data logger, which collects and digitizes analog voltage signals from a continuous-measuring instrumentation system and transmits serial data to a magnetic tape recorder, is discussed. The data logger was assembled from commercially-available components and can be user-programmed for greater flexibility. A description of the data...
Prediction of earthquake response spectra
W. B. Joyner, David M. Boore
1982, Open-File Report 82-977
We have developed empirical equations for predicting earthquake response spectra in terms of magnitude, distance, and site conditions, using a two-stage regression method similar to the one we used previously for peak horizontal acceleration and velocity. We analyzed horizontal pseudo-velocity response at 5 percent damping for 64 records of 12...
Geohydrologic reconnaissance of drainage wells in Florida; an interim report
Joel O. Kimrey, Larry D. Fayard
1982, Open-File Report 82-860
Drainage wells are used to inject surface waters directly into an aquifer, or shallow ground waters directly into a deeper aquifer, primarily by gravity. Such wells in Florida may be grouped into two broad types: (1) Surface-water injection wells, and (2) interaquifer connector wells. Surface-water injection wells are commonly used...
Geology of areas marked by geophysical anomalies (B-35 and B-34), Wadi Bidah District, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Thor H. Kiilsgaard
1982, Open-File Report 82-668
Geophysical surveys in the Wadi Bidah district, in the southwestern part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, have revealed anomalies of the type that may be caused by deposits of massive sulfides. Accordingly, a study was undertaken to investigate the geologic environment associated with the geophysical anomalies and to determine...

Specific conductance and dissolved chloride concentrations of freshwater aquifers and streams in petroleum producing areas in Mississippi
S. J. Kalkhoff
1982, Open-File Report 82-353
Specific conductance and dissolved chloride reconnasissance sampling was conducted in six oil-producing areas of Mississippi during periods of low streamflow in 1980 and 1981. Water samples were collected at 224 ground-water and 190 suface-water sites. Samples from 55 surface-water and 17 ground-water sites contained dissolved chloride concentrations in excess of...
Estimation of response-spectral values as functions of magnitude, distance, and site conditions
W. B. Joyner, David M. Boore
1982, Open-File Report 82-881
We have developed empirical predictive equations for the horizontal pseudo-velocity response at 5-percent damping for 12 different periods from 0.1 to 4.0 s. Using a multiple linear-regression method similar to the one we used previously for peak horizontal acceleration and velocity, we analyzed response spectra period by period for 64...
Analytical determinations from samples taken in the Ten Mile West Roadless Area, Boise and Elmore counties, Idaho
Thor H. Kiilsgaard
1982, Open-File Report 82-1099
A total of 584 stream-sediment and rock samples were collected from within or near the Ten Mile West Roadless Area, Boise and Elmore Counties, Idaho, as part of a geologic study aimed at appraising the mineral resource potential of the area. Emphasis was placed on stream-sediment samples because stream sediments...
