The examination in some detail of the relationships between
air quality and the thermal structure of the lowest layers of the atmosphere
constituted the primary objective of this thesis. Data for
the study were assembled during April-June 1965 at the U.S.
Weather Bureau Station, McNary Field, Salem, Oregon. The measures...
The thesis was an investigation into the mechanism of precipitation
from solid solution in an Aluminum-0.7% Magnesium-0.6%
Silicon alloy containing iron impurities. Laue x-ray diffraction patterns
were obtained from solution heat treated and aged single crystal
specimens in various crystallographic orientations. Precipitation
related streaking was detected on some of the...
Infrared radiometers, photographs, and a multispectral
scanner were used in a remote sensing study of the ocean off
Oregon during the summer of 1969. Upwelling appeared on
infrared temperature maps as a zone of cold water along the
coast and Columbia River water appeared as a warm water
"plume". Sharp...

Big Lava Lake in Deschutes County, Oregon, was chemically treated September 19, 1963, to eliminate a population of roach and white fish. An estimated kill in excess of 400,000 fish resulted from the application of 4,620 gallons of liquid rotenone (Pro-Noxfish) at a toxicity of 2.0 ppm. Live -boxed brook...
