Daily water and sediment discharges from selected rivers of the eastern United States; a time-series modeling approach
Michael G. Fitzgerald, Michael R. Karlinger
1983, Water Supply Paper 2216
Time-series models were constructed for analysis of daily runoff and sediment discharge data from selected rivers of the Eastern United States. Logarithmic transformation and first-order differencing of the data sets were necessary to produce second-order, stationary time series and remove seasonal trends. Cyclic models accounted for less than 42 percent...

An evaluation of trends in the acidity of precipitation and the related acidification of surface water in North America
John T. Turk
1983, Water Supply Paper 2249
The acidity of precipitation in the Northeastern United States and Southeastern Canada has increased in the past, probably as a result of anthropogenic emissions. The increase in New England and New York occurred primarily before the mid-1950's. Since the mid1960's, there has been no significant change in the acidity of...
