The influences of land use and land cover on climate; an analysis of the Washington-Baltimore area that couples remote sensing with numerical simulation
R.W. Pease, C.B. Jenner, J.E. Lewis Jr.
1980, Professional Paper 1099-A
The Sun drives the atmospheric heat engine by warming the terrestrial surface which in turn warms the atmosphere above. Climate, therefore, is significantly controlled by complex interaction of energy flows near and at the terrestrial surface. When man alters this delicate energy balance by his use of the land, he...
Technique for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in the Houston, Texas, Metropolitan Area
Fred Liscum, B.C. Massey
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-17
A technique for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area was developed by use of a multiple-regression flood-frequency analysis of flow data from unregulated streams in the area. A regression model, relating flood-peak discharge to concurrent rainfall and antecedent soil moisture conditions, was used...
Biological premonitors of earthquakes: A validation study
Leon Spelly Otis, W.H. Kautz
1980, Open-File Report 80-1152
For the greatest ultimate usefulness to society, the two most important facets of earthquake prediction are (1) a fundamental scientific understanding of the earthquake-triggering process and (2) the identification of reliable and measurable premonitors. A possible approach to both of these problem areas, and one that has received almost no...
A one-dimensional, steady-state, dissolved-oxygen model and waste-load assimilation study for Little Lick and Big Lick Creeks, Blackford and Delaware counties, Indiana
James G. Peters, Charles G. Crawford, William G. Wilber
1980, Open-File Report 80-73
The Indiana State Board of Health is developing a State water-quality management plan that includes establishing limits for liquid wastes discharged into Indiana streams. A digital computer model was used to predict alternatives for future waste loadings on Little Lick and Big Lick Creeks that would be compatible with Indiana...
Potential effects of increased ground-water pumpage on Barka Slough, San Antonio Creek Valley, Santa Barbara County, California
Michael J. Mallory
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-95
Ground-water use in San Antonio Creek valley is expected to increase significantly as a result of planned extensive agricultural development in the basin. The effects of this additional stress on the ground-water system, particularly on the environmentally sensitive Barka, Slough, are of concern in the basin.Expectations of the developer are...
Relationships between aerodynamic roughness and land use and land cover in Baltimore, Maryland
F.W. Nicholas, J.E. Lewis Jr.
1980, Professional Paper 1099-C
Urbanization changes the radiative, thermal, hydrologic, and aerodynamic properties of the Earth's surface. Knowledge of these surface characteristics, therefore, is essential to urban climate analysis. Aerodynamic or surface roughness of urban areas is not well documented, however, because of practical constraints in measuring the wind profile in the presence of...
Copper River hydraulic study at Million Dollar Bridge, Alaska
Stanley H. Jones, William F. Barber
1980, Open-File Report 80-223
The Copper River hydraulic conditions in the vicinity of the Million-Dollar Bridge, Alaska, at the outlet to Miles Lake are described. The water discharge, lake and river bed profiles, bathymetry, velocity, and direction of flow are presented. (Kosco-USGS)...
