1978, Open-File Report 78-166
Analysis of streamflow records in Oklahoma has provided information on the low-flow characteristics of selected streams in Oklahoma. The 2-, 10- and 20-year low-flow frequency for 1-, 7-, 14- and 30-day durations have been determined for 143 continuous record stations, 46 partial record, and 56 miscellaneous sites in Oklahoma. Low-flows...

Terrain-analysis procedures for modeling radar backscatter
Gerald G. Schaber, Richard J. Pike, Graydon Lennis Berlin
1978, Open-File Report 79-1088
The collection and analysis of detailed information on the surface of natural terrain are important aspects of radar-backscattering modeling. Radar is especially sensitive to surface-relief changes in the millimeter- to-decimeter scale four conventional K-band (~1-cm wavelength) to L-band (~25-cm wavelength) radar systems. Surface roughness statistics that characterize these changes in...
