Water temperature-influential factors, field measurement, and data presentation

This manual contains suggested procedures for collecting and reporting of water-temperature data on streams, lakes and reservoirs, estuaries, and ground water. Among the topics discussed are the selection of equipment and measuring sites, objectives and accuracy of measurements, and data processing and presentation. Background information on the influence of temperature on water quality and the factors influencing water temperature are also presented.

Progress report: Radionuclide transport in the Pasco to Vancouver, Washington, reach of the Columbia River, July 1962 to September 1963

The disposition of radionuclides in and along the 380-mile reach of the Columbia River between the Hanford, Wash., Atomic Energy Commission reactors (the major radionuclide source) and the head of the estuary is a first step in understanding the environmental cycling and ultimate fate of the discharged radioactive materials. Preliminary results for the study period, July 1962 to September 1963, are presented for radionuclide, sediment, and water data from stations on the Columbia River and from stations near the mouths of the Snake River, the Willamette River, and other Columbia River tributaries.
