A real-time data acquisition/central system has been developed for
environmental monitoring and research. The basic elements of the system
are a large instrumented spar buoy, a computer which controls data acquisition
through a telemetry link and simultaneously files and analyzes the data,
and the investigator who prescribes appropriate sets of...
This study considers trade-offs between timber harvest and carbon
sequestration on National Forest and other public lands by contemporaneously linking
a model of public harvest and inventory to a carbon accounting system. The public
harvest model treats three harvest scenarios. The first minimizes the cost of meeting
harvest requests that...
At the request of Dr. E.D. Perry, (23 August 1957), an evaluation was made of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service River Basin Studies air and water temperature gathering program for the Snake River Basin. The only criteria was the desirability for data to be used to forecast temperature structures which...
The mail boat trip was taken from Lewiston to Hells Canyon and return. Bathythermograph observations were made in deep holes at Buffalo Eddy, Nez Perce Dam site, and near Mountain Sheep Dam site. Thermograph sites on the Grande Ronde River were evaluated. A number of lakes, reservoirs, and dams were...
A graph is presented which shows the average annual temperature depth profile which has been computed and estimated for the
Brownlee Reservoir. Forecast computations and estimations are
for a median river flow year. The graph also contains forecasts
of the annual temperature cycle for the Snake River below Brownlee Dam.
Bathers exposed to microbiological contamination in coastal waters have an excess risk of gastrointestinal and respiratory illness. The disease burden associated with this risk may be considerable in Southern California, where 50 million annual beach visitors recreate in coastal waters that receive billions of gallons of polluted discharges from nearby...
Most of the readily available unpublished hydrographic data for Oregon Estuaries which was collected prior to June 1956 have been tabulated, Data on water temperature salinity and velocity are presented. Data collected by the Navy Hydrographic Office and the USC & GS are not included.
Few studies have examined both long-term and fine-scale spatial variations in
water quality of small streams in the Pacific Northwest. As such, a case study was
conducted to determine if current physical and chemical properties of water in three
streams located in the Oregon Coast Range differed from historically measured...
This study has two main objectives. First, we propose an alternative way for treating deposits in modeling a banking firm, which account for both their input and output features. Second, we contribute to modeling failures in the banking sector by distinguishing three groups of factors affecting failures: bank level, industry...
