Spatial patterns of anomalous runoff to precipitation ratios for watersheds within the contiguous United States arranged by level one ecoregions

Creator:: Pittman, Jason W.
Abstract:: Mean annual runoff to precipitation (R/P) ratios were generated for 966 watersheds within the contiguous United States. The watersheds were plotted using Arc View GIS and used as part of an overlay analysis with Level 1 U.S. ecoregions. The ratios were statistically evaluated to determine anomalous R/P conditions within the...

A point-data analysis of the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and its relationship to seasonal precipitation in the northwest United States

Creator:: Worley, Timothy J.
Abstract:: El Niflo and La Nifia are oceanographic and atmospheric phenomena that have been catalogued for well over a centuly. In El Nifio years, Peru's otherwise thy west coast is subjected to torrential rainfall. Higher ocean temperatures off the coast are deemed the culprit. Attempts to quantify this began in the...

The spatial location and temporal frequency of storm fronts along the Pacific Coast between 35 and 55 degrees north latitude during the period 1973-1994

Creator:: Barnett, Steven J.
Abstract:: Research Questions: 1) What are the characteristics of storm location and frequency that distinguish interannual forcing events, (ENSO periods) for the northwest Pacific Coast? 2) Are there differences in the spatial and temporal characteristics of storm events, (location and frequency), between interannual forcing periods and annual average periods? 3) Are...

Spatial changes in alpine treeline vegetation patterns along hiking trails in Glacier National Park, Montana

Creator:: Klasner, Frederick L.
Abstract:: Sequential aerial photography was used to identify effects of hiking trails on the spatial distribution of subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa) habitat at alpine treeline. Vegetation change over a 46 year period was compared along trails relative to areas without trails, at five study sites in the McDonald Creek drainage of...

Analysis of streamflow variability in Oregon for regional water quality monitoring programs

Creator:: Saligoe-Simmel, Julia L.
Abstract:: Streamflow variability can provide valuable information for nonpoint source pollution monitoring program planning. The research papers presented in this thesis examine selected properties of streamflow variability in Oregon to advance its application in regional planning of water quality monitoring programs. The products of this research depict Oregon streams by their...

A spatiotemporal analysis of the correspondence of wave climates and weather events on the Washington and Oregon coasts: winters 1980-81 through 1989-1990

Creator:: Booth, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the characters of winter wave climates of the Washington and Oregon coasts from 1980- 81 through 1989-90 and to compare these spatially and temporally with the occurrence of storm events. Of particular interest is the analysis of wave climates and weather events...

A climatography-based study of aerial reconnaissance probabilities for Oregon's Willamette Valley

Creator:: Spear, Timothy Bryant
Abstract:: The needs and markets for aerial photography have grown steadily with the increasing demands for improved resource management (Kodak, 1985, 2 & Simonett, 1983, 1). Aerial photography within the Willamette Valley could provide researchers and professionals with a broad range of data in disciplines such as agriculture, forestry, geology, and...

Wildland fire hazard in Humboldt County, California

Creator:: Millar, Brian D.
Abstract:: Humboldt County has several areas which have naturally high to extreme wildland fire hazards. Recent settlement within these areas increases the likelihood of a destructive fire. This report examines the extent and degree to which climate, slope and vegetation influence the wildland fire hazard in Humboldt County, as well as...

The effectiveness of the Special Farm Use Assessment Program in Jefferson County, Oregon - a comparative study

Creator:: Hunter, Steven Robert
Abstract:: Oregon's Special Farm Use Assessment program is investigated in this paper for its effectiveness in preserving farmland from urban sprawl. Basic research for this study was conducted in Jefferson County, a rural central Oregon county. Data from a similar study conducted in Washington County, an urbanizing northern Willamette Valley county,...
