Habitat Suitability Index Models: Blue Grouse
Richard L. Schroeder
1984, FWS/OBS 82/10.81
A review and synthesis of existing information were used to develop a Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) model for the blue grouse (Dendragapus obscurus). The model consolidates habitat use information into a framework appropriate for field application, and is scaled to produce an index between 0.0 (unsuitable habitat) to 1.0 (optimum...
Dissolved-oxygen regime of the Jordan River, Salt Lake County, Utah
D. W. Stephens
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4056
Concentrations of dissolved oxygen in the Jordan River in Salt Lake County decrease considerably as the river flows northward. Mean concentrations of dissolved oxygen decreased from 8.1 milligrams per liter at the Jordan Narrows to 4.7 milligrams per liter at 500 North Street during April 1981 to September 1982. Coincident...
Habitat Suitability Index Models and Instream Flow Suitability Curves: White bass
Karen Hamilton, Patrick C. Nelson
1984, FWS/OBS 82/10.89
Habitat characteristics important to white bass (Morone chrysops) are reviewed in this report using two techniques developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Habitat Evaluation Procedures (HEP) and the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM). The Suitability Index (SI) curves and graphs and Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) models developed...

Geophysical interpretation of the gneiss terrane of northern Washington and southern British Columbia, and its implications for uranium exploration
John W. Cady, Kenneth F. Fox
1984, Professional Paper 1260
The Omineca crystalline belt of northeastern Washington and southern British Columbia has a regional Bouguer gravity high, and individual gneiss domes within the terrane are marked by local gravity highs. Models of crustal structure that satisfy the limited available seismic-refraction data and explain the gravity high over the gneiss terrane...

1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4228
A method for evaluating the relative worth of individual streamflow gaging stations in a multipupose network is presented. Each individual gaging station in the network is evaluated on the basis of selected rating factors. The factors relate to the need for information at the gaging stations, accuracy of data, economic...
