Near-station terrain corrections for gravity data by a surface-integral technique
M. E. Gettings
1982, Open-File Report 82-1045
A new method of computing gravity terrain corrections by use of a digitizer and digital computer can result in substantial savings in the time and manual labor required to perform such corrections by conventional manual ring-chart techniques. The method is typically applied to estimate terrain effects for topography near the...
Production and decomposition of forest litter fall on the Apalachicola River flood plain, Florida
John F. Elder, Duncan J. Cairns
1982, Open-File Report 82-252
Measurements of litter fall (leaves and other particulate organic material) and leaf decomposition were made on the bottom-land hardwood swamp of the Apalachicola River flood plain in 1979-80. Litter fall was collected monthly from nets located in 16 study plots. The plots represented five forest types in the swamp and...
Geohydrologic data from sandstone aquifers in southwestern Kansas
Jack Kume, Joseph M. Spinazola
1982, Open-File Report 82-868
Data collected during a reconnaissance investigation of the geology and hydrology of sandstone aquifers provide useful information in the study of, and planning for, water-resources development in a 17,400 square-mile area in 26 counties of southwestern Kansas. The aquifers consist chiefly of saturated sandstones that occur in Upper Permian, Upper...
Chemical and physical characteristics of water in estuaries of Texas, October 1976-September 1978
J.C. Fisher
1982, Open-File Report 82-354
The Texas Water Plan (1968) proposes development and utilization of water resources in Texas and includes provision for the use and preservation of water in the estuaries of the State. Management of estuarine waters requires knowledge of the hydrodynamics and of the continuing changes in the chemical and physical characteristics...
Dams, reservoirs, and withdrawals for water supply; historic trends
W. B. Langbein
1982, Open-File Report 82-256
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) from time to time has published an inventory of major reservoirs and controlled natural lakes. The latest available USGS report indicated that as of 1963, usable capacity in major reservoirs (those having 5 ,000 acre-ft of usable capacity) totaled 359 million acre-ft. The growth rate...

Geology and configuration of the base of the Tertiary limestone aquifer system, southeastern United States
James A. Miller
1982, Open-File Report 81-1176
The Tertiary limestone aquifer system of the southeastern United States is a thick sequence of carbonate rocks that vary in age land that are hydraulically connected in varying degrees. A map is presented that shows at the altitude and configuration of base of the aquifer system. The age and lithology...

1982, Open-File Report 82-751
Gaging-station data are presented on variations in annual runoff over the conterminous United States and nearby Canada during the period 1911-79 in tabular and graphic (map) form. These data bring up-to-date and extend backward in time previous reports on streamflow stations by Harbeck and Langbein in 1949 which covered the...
An oilspill risk analysis for the Gulf of Mexico outer continental shelf lease area; regional environmental impact statement

1982, Open-File Report 82-238
An oilspill risk analysis was conducted for the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf (OCS)lease area region. Results of the analysis can be used to determine relative risks associated with oil production in different regions to be offered in OCS Lease Sales 72, 74, and 79. The analysis considered the...

Hydraulic geometry of the Platte River in south-central Nebraska
T.R. Eschner
1982, Open-File Report 82-436
At-a-station hydraulic-geometry of the Platte River in south-central Nebraska is complex. The range of exponents of simple power-function relations is large, both between different reaches of the river, and among different sections within a given reach. The at-a-station exponents plot in several fields of the b-f-m diagram, suggesting that morphologic...
