A high-voltage pulser developed by the U.S. Geological Survey for glacier soundings is a small battery-operated unit that weighs about one kg and was packaged in a case measuring 8.2 X 12 X 18.8 cm. It operates from an external 12 volt battery and supplies a 500-V pulse to a...
A simple-harmonic model for depicting the annual cycle of seasonal temperatures of streams
Timothy Doak Steele
1978, Open-File Report 78-155
Due to economic or operational constraints, stream-temperature records cannot always be collected at all sites where information is desired or at frequencies dictated by continuous or near-continuous surveillance requirements. For streams where only periodic measurements are made during the year, and that are not appreciably affected by regulation or by...
Progress toward a ground-water-quality monitoring network for Idaho
R.L. Whitehead
1978, Open-File Report 78-786
A ground-water-quality monitoring network is being designed for Idaho. The primary objectives of the network are to (1) determine the present quality of the State's ground water, (2) provide continual monitoring of groundwater quality for water-management purposes, and (3) serve as a warning system of undesirable changes in ground-water quality. Data...
