Probable high ground-water levels on Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Michael H. Frimpter
1980, Open-File Report 80-1008
Water-level records from 146 short-term (1 year) observation wells and 13 long-term (16-28 years) observation wells were used to estimate the probable high ground-water level that could occur at any site on Cape Cod. The estimation was based on correlation of a single water-level measurement from a test site with...
Estimation of background loadings and concentrations of phosphorus for lakes in the Puget Sound region, Washington
Robert J. Gilliom
1980, Open-File Report 80-328
For lakes in watersheds that include developed land, evaluation of eutrophication is facilitated by knowledge of changes in the lakes ' phosphorus concentration since development. A method is described for estimating background phosphorus concentration in lakes of the Puget Sound lowland, Washington. Using a mass-balance ' Vollenweider-type ' model, phosphorus...
Preliminary simulated tidal flow and circulation patterns in Hillsborough Bay, Florida
Carl R. Goodwin
1980, Open-File Report 80-1021
The effect of channel dredging and island construction on tidal flow and circulation in Hillsborough Bay, Fla., due to the Tampa Harbor Deepening Project is being investigated using a two-dimensional, finite-difference numerical model. Preliminary model results are presented as a series of maps showing tidal flood, tidal ebb, and circulation...
Water-supply assessment of the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer in parts of Adams, Boulder, Jefferson, and Weld Counties, Colorado
Paul A. Schneider
1980, Open-File Report 80-327
Groundwater in the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer is a potential source of supplemental municipal water supplies for the communities of Erie, Lafayette, Louisville, and Superior in Colorado. The present water supplies for these communities are not always adequate to meet current demands. The U.S. Geological Survey made a water-supply assessment of...
Dissolved-solids concentrations and loads in return flows to the Colorado River from agricultural land in southern California
John M. Klein, Wesley L. Bradford
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-52
The dissolved-solids concentration in Colorado River water increases from less than 50 mg/L (milligrams per liter) at the river's origin to about 700 mg/L at the California border and to about 900 mg/L at the United States-Mexico boundary. Much of the latter increase is due to depletion by agricultural use...
Chemical and physical characteristics of precipitation at selected sites in Florida
G. A. Irwin, R.T. Kirkland
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-81
Infrequent sampling of precipitation in Florida has been conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey since 1965. A summary of the historical data from 24 sites throughout Florida indicate that the principal ionic composition of atmospheric precipitation samples is calcium-sodium and bicarbonate-chloride with an average specific conductance of 32 micromhos per...
Potassium-argon geochronology of the eastern Transverse Ranges and southern Mojave Desert, southern California
F. K. Miller, D. M. Morton
1980, Professional Paper 1152
More than 200 potassium-argon apparent ages on minerals from crystalline rocks, chiefly from the San Bernardino and eastern San Gabriel Mountains and the southern Mojave Desert, define an area greater than 10,000 km2 in which the potassium-argon isotopic systematics have been highly disturbed. The disturbance or disturbances appear to have...
Hydrologic analysis of the proposed Badger-Beaver Creeks artificial-recharge project: Morgan County, Colorado
Alan W. Burns
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-46
A hydrologic analysis of the proposed Badger-Beaver Creeks artificial-recharge project in Morgan County, Colo., was made with the aid of three digital computer models: A canal-distribution model, a ground-water flow model, and a stream-aquifer model. Statistical summaries of probable diversions from the South Platte River based on a 27-year period...
The influences of land use and land cover on climate; an analysis of the Washington-Baltimore area that couples remote sensing with numerical simulation
R.W. Pease, C.B. Jenner, J.E. Lewis Jr.
1980, Professional Paper 1099-A
The Sun drives the atmospheric heat engine by warming the terrestrial surface which in turn warms the atmosphere above. Climate, therefore, is significantly controlled by complex interaction of energy flows near and at the terrestrial surface. When man alters this delicate energy balance by his use of the land, he...
Relationships between aerodynamic roughness and land use and land cover in Baltimore, Maryland
F.W. Nicholas, J.E. Lewis Jr.
1980, Professional Paper 1099-C
Urbanization changes the radiative, thermal, hydrologic, and aerodynamic properties of the Earth's surface. Knowledge of these surface characteristics, therefore, is essential to urban climate analysis. Aerodynamic or surface roughness of urban areas is not well documented, however, because of practical constraints in measuring the wind profile in the presence of...
Hydrogeologic data for the Mississippi Embayment of southeastern Missouri
Richard R. Luckey, Dale L. Fuller
1980, Open-File Report 79-421
The Mississippi embayment of southeastern Missouri is a 4 ,000-square-mile agricultural area that is presently (1979) undergoing rapid development for irrigation. In July 1974, a project was initiated to evaluate the water resources of the area, determine the extent of irrigation, and to assess the future potential for irrigation supplies....
A systematic revision of the ostracode species described by Ulrich and Bassler and by Malkin from the Chesapeake Group in Maryland and Virginia
Richard M. Forester
1980, Professional Paper 1128
Those ostracode species described by Ulrich and Bassler (1904) and Malkin (1953) from the Chesapeake Group of early Miocene to early Pleistocene age are treated systematically. Lectotypes are designated for all species which have syntypic suites and the lectotypes, holotypes, or hypotypes for all but two species are illustrated. A...
Geologic map of the Argyre quadrangle of Mars
C. A. Hodges
1980, IMAP 1181
The geology of the Argyre quadrangle of Mars is dominated by the conspicuous Argyre basin, defined by a rim of rugged mountain blocks that surround a nearly circular expanse of plains 800 km across. Of the large (greater than 500 km in diameter) basins identified on Mars, Argyre is...
