A review of pond zooplankton production and fertilization for the culture of larval and fingerling striped bass
J. G. Geiger
1982, Aquaculture (35) 353-369
Successful culture of the planktivorous fry of warmwater fish species such as striped bass (Morone saxatilis) depends heavily upon the composition and density of zooplankton established in rearing ponds during the 4–6-week culture period. The paper reviews the growth, reproduction, and...
DDT poisoning in a Cooper's hawk collected in 1980

1982, Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (28) 319-321
In April 1980, a Cooper's hawk (Accipiter cooperii) was found on the ground in Lakewood, Colorado, unable to fly and in convulsion. The bird died shortly thereafter. The hawk was packed in dry ice and shipped air express to the Fish and Wildlife Service, U. S. Department of the Interior,...

Modeling of tidal and residual circulation in San Francisco Bay, California
R. T. Cheng
1982, Conference Paper, Proceedings, Seminar on 2-D Flows
Several numerical models have been developed and implemented to simulate tidal and residual circulation in San Francisco Bay. Because of a broad distribution in time scales, hydrodynamic models must be formulated to account for the proper time and spatial scales which dominate the transport processes. A complete current survey of...
Removing tidal-period variations from time-series data using low-pass digital filters
Roy A. Walters, Cynthia Heston
1982, Journal of Physical Oceanography (12) 112-115
Several low-pass, digital filters are examined for their ability to remove tidal Period Variations from a time-series of water surface elevation for San Francisco Bay. The most efficient filter is the one which is applied to the Fourier coefficients of the transformed data, and the filtered data recovered through an...

Low-frequency variations in sea level and currents in south San Francisco Bay
Roy A. Walters
1982, Journal of Physical Oceanography (12) 658-668
In order to examine physical process in the subtidal time range, sea-level and current meter data for south San Francisco Bay (South Bay) were filtered using a low-pass digital filter to remove tidal period variations. and then subjected to an empirical orthogonal function analysis. For the sea-level data, there is...
Hydrology of the surficial aquifer in the Floyd River Basin, Iowa
K.D. Wahl, M.J. Meyer, R.A. Karsten
1982, Water Supply Bulletin 12
The Floyd River basin was studied to provide water-resources Information for a typical surficial aquifer in northwest Iowa. Data collection included test drilling, water-level measurements, and chemical analyses of surface and ground water. The Floyd River basin drains 961 square miles of highly dissected to gently rolling topography. Major streams generally...
Earthquake-induced sediment failures on a 0.25o slope, Klamath River delta, California.
M.E. Field, J.V. Gardner, A. E. Jennings, B. D. Edwards
1982, Geology (10) 542-546
On Nov. 8, 1980, a major earthquake (magnitude 6.5-7.2) occurred 60 km off the coast of N California. A survey of the area using high-resolution seismic-reflection and side-scan sonar equipment revealed the presence of extensive sediment failure and flows in a zone about 1 km wide and 20 km long...
The role of the Organization of American States in the development of seismology in Latin America
A. Quesada
1982, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (14) 7-9
Seismological studies in Latin America were initiated at the beginning of the 20th century, when the first seismological stations were deployed by certain scientific associations. These efforts provided an incentive to the professional community for further activites. Until this date, the only seismic records that existed were historical accounts of...
