Tests of the standard (30 hz) NCER FM multiplex telemetry system, augmented by two timing channels and a compensation reference signal, used to record multiplexed seismic network data on magnetic tape
Jerry P. Eaton
1976, Open-File Report 76-374
The application of subtractive compensation to USGS seismic magnetic tape recording and playback systems was examined in a recent USGS Open-file report (1). It was found, for the standard (30 Hz) NCER multiplex system, that subtractive compensation utilizing a 4688 Hz reference signal multiplexed onto each data track was more...
Distribution functions for statistics derived from bivariate normal and bivariate two-parameter log-normal populations
James Richard Slack, Nicholas C. Matalas, James R. Wallis
1976, Open-File Report 76-214
The distribution functions for hydrologic statistics that may be used to assess the significance of differences between sample means, standard deviations, coefficients of skewness, and coefficients of variations are obtained by Monte Carlo experiments. The distributions are expressed as functions of sample size, cross correlation, and skewness. In general, the...
Preliminary investigations on computational methods for solving the two-point seismic ray-tracing problem in a heterogeneous and isotropic medium
J.P. Yang, William Hung Kan Lee
1976, Open-File Report 76-707
Two-point seismic ray tracing is an important problem in seismology. In this report, we study this problem by first deriving the differential equations governing seismic wave propagation between two end points in a 3-dimensional heterogeneous and isotropic medium. We then formulate three numerical schemes to solve the two-point ray-tracing problem....
Analog-model analysis of effect of wastewater management on the ground-water reservoir in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, New York: Report I: Proposed and current sewerage
Grant E. Kimmel, Arlen W. Harbaugh
1976, Open-File Report 76-441
By 1995, the water table may fall by as much as 5 metres (16 feet) in east-central Nassau County and as much as 1.8 metres (6 feet) in central Suffolk County as a result of proposed sewerage programs. similar, but generally slightly less, change may occur in the potentiometric head...

Appraisal of water resources in the Hackensack River basin, New Jersey
L.D. Carswell
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-74
The Hackensack River basin, in the northern part of the New Jersey-New York metropolitan area, includes some of the most highly urbanized areas in the United States as well as a largely undeveloped 23.4 square mile area of tidal marsh referred to as the Hackensack Meadows. Bedrock in the Hackensack...
A reconnaissance of the effects of a forest fire on water quality in Kings Canyon National Park, California
Ray J. Hoffman, Rodger F. Ferreira
1976, Open-File Report 76-497
Following two forest fires in the Roaring River drainage basin, Kings Canyon National Park, Calif., water samples were collected from May to July 1974 to determine water-quality changes resulting from the fires. Field measurements included alkalinity , pH, specific conductance, temperature, and discharge. Samples were analyzed in the laboratory for...
Buried aquifers in the Brooten-Belgrade and Lake Emily areas, west-central Minnesota--Factors related to developing water for irrigation
R. J. Wolf
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-100
Irrigation has given a substantial boost to the economy in the Brooten-Belgrade and Lake Emily areas of Minnesota. The surficial outwash aquifer is capable of yielding sufficient quantities of water for irrigation over half of its area; the remaining part may be supplied by deep aquifers. Buried glacial outwash and...

Water resources of Lincoln County coastal area, Oregon
F. J. Frank, Antonius Laenen
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-90
The Lincoln County coastal area is underlain by Tertiary volcanic and sedimentary rocks of low permeability that store only a small volume of the annual precipitation which averages 68 inches (1,730 millimeters). Consequently, the Tertiary units yield small quantities of water to wells and furnish little ground-water discharge to maintain...
