A compilation of sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide emission-rate data from Mount St. Helens during 1980-88
Kenneth A. McGee, Thomas J. Casadevall
1994, Open-File Report 94-212
Airborne monitoring of Mount St. Helens by the USGS began inMay 1980 for sulfur dioxide emissions and in July 1980 forcarbon dioxide emissions. A correlation spectrometer, orCOSPEC, was used to measure sulfur dioxide in Mount St.Helens' plume. The upward-looking COSPEC was mounted in afixed-wing aircraft and flown below and at...

Methods of analysis by the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Quality Laboratory-Extraction of nitroaromatic compounds from water by polystyrene divinylbenzene cartridge and determination by high-performance liquid chromatography
C.E. Lindley, M.R. Burkhardt, S.N. DeRusseau
1994, Open-File Report 94-62
Organic explosives are determined in samples of ground water and surface water with emphasis on identifying and quantifying trinitrotoluene (TNT) metabolites. Water samples are filtered to remove suspended particulate material and passed through a polystyrene divinylbenzene-packed cartridge by a vacuum-extraction system. The target analytes subsequently are eluted with...

The National Water Data Exchange (NAWDEX) was developed to assist users of water-resource data in the identification, location, and acquisition of data. The Master Water Data Index (MWDI) of NAWDEX currently indexes the data collected by 423 organizations from nearly 500,000 sites throughout the United Stales. The utilization of new...
Effects of agricultural land-management practices on water quality in northeastern Guilford County, North Carolina, 1985-90
D.A. Harned
1994, Open-File Report 94-60
The effects of different agricultural land-management practices on sediment, nutrients, and selected pesticides in surface water, and on nutrients and pesticides in ground water were studied in four small basins in the Piedmont of North Carolina. The basins included two adjacent basins in row-crop fields, a mixed land-use basin, and...
Operational Procedures for Collecting Water-Quality Samples at Monitoring Sites on Maple Creek Near Nickerson and the Platte River at Louisville, Eastern Nebraska
