The U.S. Geological Survey One-Dimensional Stream Water-Quality Model, QUAL II Stream Water-Quality Routing Model, the U.S. Army corps of Engineers Water Quality for River Reservoir Systems Model, and the M.I.T. Transient Water Quality Network were evaluated and compared using actual water-quality data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey. The field...

Late Cenozoic stratigraphy and structure of the western margin of the central San Joaquin Valley, California
William R. Lettis
1982, Open-File Report 82-526
Late Cenozoic Stratigraphy Late Cenozoic deposits in the west-central San Joaquin Valley and adjacent foothills of the Diablo Range consist mainly of unconsolidated, poorly-sorted to well-sorted gravel, sand, silt and clay derived primarily from the Diablo Range and secondarily from the Sierra Nevada. Sedimentary structures, such as channeled contacts, laminated...
A geologic evaluation of proposed lava diversion barriers for the NOAA Mauna Loa Observatory, Mauna Loa Volcano, Hawaii
H. J. Moore
1982, Open-File Report 82-314
Lava flow diversion barriers should protect the Mauna Loa Observatory from flows of reasonable magnitude if properly constructed. The a'a flow upon which the observatory is constructed represents a flow of reasonable magnitude. Proper construction of the barriers includes obtaining riprap from a zone exterior to the proposed V-shaped barrier...
Sedimentology and stratigraphy of the Kanayut Conglomerate, central Brooks Range, Alaska: Report of 1980 field season
T. H. Nilsen, Thomas E. Moore, D. F. Balin, S. Y. Johnson
1982, Open-File Report 82-199
The Upper Devonian Kanayut Conglomerate crops out along the crest of the Brooks Range of northern Alaska for a distance of almost 1000 km. It ranges in thickness from 2600 m in the Atigun River area to 700 m south of Anaktuvuk Pass and has been subdivided into four regionally...

Geohydrology of the valley-fill aquifer in the Corning area, Steuben County, New York
Todd S. Miller, J. L. Belli, R. V. Allen
1982, Open-File Report 82-85
This report is the seventh in a series of 11 map sets depicting geohydrologic conditions in selected aquifers in upstate New York. Geohydrologic data are compiled on six maps at 1:24,000 scale. Together, the maps provide a comprehensive overview of a major valley-fill aquifer in southeastern Steuben County. The maps...
Streamflow and sediment transport in the Quillayute River basin, Washington
L. M. Nelson
1982, Open-File Report 82-627
From October 1976 to September 1978 the U.S. Geological Survey made a reconnaissance evaluation of the fluvial-sediment transport and documented the natural streamflow characteristics in the Quillayute River basin in northwestern Washington. Most of the flow originates from the tributaries, the Soleduck, Bogachiel, and Calawah Rivers. Flow in the summer...
Three-dimensional modeling of the Nevada Test Site and vicinity from teleseismic P-wave residuals
Mary E. Monfort, John R. Evans
1982, Open-File Report 82-409
A teleseismic P-wave travel-time residual study is described which reveals the regional compressional-velocity structure of southern Nevada and neighboring parts of California to a depth of 280 km. During 1980, 98 teleseismic events were recorded at as many as 53 sites in this area. P-wave residuals were calculated relative to...
Proceedings of Workshop XVI; The dynamic characteristics of faulting inferred from recordings of strong ground motion
John Boatwright, editor(s)
1982, Open-File Report 82-591
The strong ground motions radiated by earthquake faulting are controlled by the dynamic characteristics of the faulting process. Although this assertion seems self-evident, seismologists have only recently begun to derive and test quantitative relations between common measures of strong ground motion and the dynamic characteristics of faulting. Interest in this...
Water quality of the tidal Potomac River and Estuary; hydrologic data report, 1981 water year, with a section on collection and analysis of chlorophyll-a
Stephen F. Blanchard, Richard H. Coupe, Joan C. Woodward
1982, Open-File Report 82-575
This report contains data on the physical and chemical properties measured in the Tidal Potomac River and Estuary during the 1981 water year. Data were collected at least weekly at five stations, and periodically at 15 stations and at two other stations near the mouth of the Potomac River in...

Vertical movement of ground water under the Merrill Field landfill, Anchorage, Alaska
Gordon L. Nelson, L.L. Dearborn
1982, Open-File Report 82-1016
Shallow groundwater under the Merrill Field sanitary landfill at Anchorage is polluted by leachate. Wells, including three Municipal-supply wells, obtain water from two confined aquifers 100-300 feet beneath the landfill area. Aquifer-test data and information on subsurface geology, ground-water levels, and properties of materials were used to estimate vertical gradients...

Documentation and user's guide for interactive spectral analysis and filter program package useful in the processing of seismic reflection data
J. J. Miller
1982, Open-File Report 82-744
The spectral analysis and filter program package is written in the BASIC language for the HP-9845T desktop computer. The program's main purpose is to perform spectral analyses on digitized time-domain data. In addition, band-pass filtering of the data can be performed in the time domain. Various other processes such as...
January 1982 water levels, and data related to water-level changes, western and south-central Kansas
M.E. Pabst
1982, Open-File Report 82-649
Water-level measurements were made, mostly in January 1982, in about 1,530 wells in western and south-central Kansas. The measurements were made in mid-winter when pumping was minimal and water levels had recovered, for the most part, from the effects of pumping during the previous irrigation season. Annual hydrologic data are...
