Winds over saltcedar
T. E. A. Van Hylckama
1970, Agricultural Meteorology (7) 217-233
An analysis of hourly wind speeds above and within a stand of saltcedar near Buckeye, Arizona, reveals that in 90% of all observed cases, the wind profiles above the stand can be represented by the simple logarithmic equation: uz=u*k1n">uz=u*k1n (zz0)">zz0) where...
Correction of bias in belt transect studies of immotile objects
David R. Anderson, R.S. Pospahala
1970, Journal of Wildlife Management (34) 141-146
Unless a correction is made, population estimates derived from a sample of belt transects will be biased if a fraction of, the individuals on the sample transects are not counted. An approach, useful for correcting this bias when sampling immotile populations using transects of a fixed width, is presented....
John Wesley Powell: soldier, explorer, scientist
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1970, Report
One hundred years ago John Wesley Powell and nine adventure-seeking companions completed the first exploration of the dangerous and almost uncharted canyons of the Green and Colorado Rivers. By this trip, Powell, a 35-year old teacher of natural history, apparently unhampered by the lack of his right forearm (amputated after...
Surface coating effects in remote sensing measurements
Robert D. Watson
1970, Journal of Geophysical Research (75) 480-484
Measurements of the infrared spectra of a liquid-(water) coated quartz substrate and a solid-(pyrophyllite) coated quartzite are compared to theoretical values. Results demonstrate that in the case of the water-coated quartz, a loss in spectral contrast of the quartz emission occurs at the principal restrahlen wavelengths of 8.5, 9.0, and...

Discharge measurements at gaging stations
Thomas J. Buchanan, William P. Somers
1969, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 03-A8
The techniques used in making discharge measurements at gaging stations are described in this report. Most of the report deals with the current-meter method of measuring discharge, because this is the principal method used in gaging streams. The use of portable weirs and flumes, floats, and volumetric tanks in measuring...

Chemical composition of rainbow trout urine following acute hypoxic stress
Joseph B. Hunn
1969, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (98) 20-22
Rainbow trout (Salmo gairdnerii) were anesthetized with MS-222, catheterized, and introduced into urine collecting chambers. Twenty-four hours after introduction, a 4-hour accumulation of urine was collected to serve as the control. Water flow to the chambers was then discontinued for 30 minutes during which the oxygen content of the water...
Determination of phosphate in natural waters by activation analysis of tungstophosphoric acid
Herbert E. Allen, Richard B. Hahn
1969, Environmental Science & Technology (3) 844-848
Activation analysis may be used to determine quantitatively traces of phosphate in natural waters. Methods based on the reaction 31P(n,γ)32P are subject to interference by sulfur and chlorine which give rise to 32P through n,p and n,α reactions. If the ratio of phosphorus to sulfur or chlorine is small, as...
