Mapping of forested wetland: Use of seasat radar images to complement conventional sources
John L. Place
1984, Open-File Report 84-312
Distinguishing forested wetland from dry forest using aerial photographs has been handicapped because photographs often do not reveal the presence of water below the tree canopies. Images obtained during the summer months of 1978 by the Seasat satellite's L-band (23-cm) radar reveal forested wetland as patterns of high radar reflection in the Atlantic coastal...
Changes in channel geomorphology of six eruption-affected tributaries of the Lewis River, 1980-82, Mount St. Helens, Washington
H. A. Martinson, S. D. Finneran, L. J. Topinka
1984, Open-File Report 84-614
The May 18, 1980, eruption of Mount St. Helens generated a lateral blast, lahars and tephra deposits that altered tributary channels in the Lewis River drainage basin. In order to assess potential flood hazards, study channel adjustments, and construct a sediment budget for the perturbed drainages on the east and...

Synthesized flood frequency for small urban streams in Tennessee
C. H. Robbins
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4182
Bridge, culvert, and highway design often require knowledge of the magnitude and frequency of flood discharge from small streams where the drainage basin is urbanized. The results of a 6-year study by the U.S. Geological Survey provide methods for estimating flood magnitudes for selected frequencies on small streams draining urban...
Techniques for estimating flood hydrographs for ungaged urban watersheds
V.A. Stricker, V.B. Sauer
1984, Open-File Report 82-365
The Clark Method, modified slightly was used to develop a synthetic, dimensionless hydrograph which can be used to estimate flood hydrographs for ungaged urban watersheds. Application of the technique results in a typical (average) flood hydrograph for a given peak discharge. Input necessary to apply the technique is an estimate...
