Storm-tide elevations produced by Hurricane Andrew along the southern Florida coasts, August 24, 1992
Mitchell H. Murray
1994, Open-File Report 94-116
On August 24, 1992, Hurricane Andrew crossed southern peninsular Florida. The combined effects of storm surge from the hurricane and astronomical tide, referred to as storm tide, caused flooding over a large part of southern Florida. Subsequent to the flooding, many high-water marks were identified, described, and surveyed along the...

The data sets on this compact disc are a compilation of several geographic reference data sets of interest to the global-change research community. The data sets were chosen with input from the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Continental-Scale International Project (GCIP) Data Committee and the GCIP Hydrometeorology and...
Records of water levels in monitoring wells in the Gallatin Valley, southwestern Montana, 1947-93
Steven E. Slagle
1994, Open-File Report 94-536
Water-level data were collected in the Gallatin Valley to provide a basis for evaluation of the configuration of the ground-water surface and water-level change. Water-level records collected during a 2-year study of the area and historical water-level data for 121 wells in the Gallatin Valley are summarized in the report....
