Title:  

Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the Midwest

 
 Volume/Number:  71  
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  This report presents the results and methodology of an intense study of rainfall frequency relationships throughout the Midwest (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin). Using primarily 275 long-term daily reporting stations from the National Weather Service cooperative network supplemented by 134 daily reporting stations with shorter records, rainfall amounts have been determined for recurrence intervals from 2 months to 100 years and for durations of 5 minutes to 10 days. The results are presented as maps and as climate division averages in tabular form. Several special raingage networks were used to develop relationships between amounts for 24 hours and less. This report also examines the time distributions of heavy rainfall over time, and other storm characteristics such as storm orientation and movement. The assumption of spatially independent observations between stations also is discussed.

Title:  

Retention of zinc, cadmium, copper, and lead by geologic materials

 
 Volume/Number:  1982  
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  The vertical and horizontal migration patterns of zinc, cadmium, copper, and lead through the soil and shallow aquifer systems at two secondary zinc smelters were defined by use of soil coring and monitoring well techniques. The vertical migration of the same elements at a third zinc smelter also was defined. The migration of metals at the three smelters has been limited by attenuation processes to relatively shallow depths in the soil profile. Cation exchange and precipitation of insoluable metal compounds, resulting from pH changes in the infiltrating solution, were determined to be the principal mechanisms controlling the movement of the metals through the soil. Increased metal contents in the shallow groundwater systems have been confined to the imnediate plant sites. Soil coring was found to be an effective investigative tool but was not suitable by itself for routine monitoring of waste disposal activities. It should be used to gather preliminary information to aid in determining the proper horizontal and vertical locations for monitoring wells. The analyses of water samples collected in this project generally did not yield a stable, reproducible pattern of results. This indicates the need to develop techniques to obtain representative water samples. The failure of some well seals in a highly polluted environment also indicates the need for additional research into monitoring well construction.

Title:  

Remote sensing of corn and soybean canopy productivity : data collection and documentation.

 
 Volume/Number:  2001  
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  As part of a study to estimate corn and soybean yields using satellite remote sensing techniques, biomass measurements, ground-level spectral measurements, and weather and energy flux measurements were taken at three locations in McLean County, Illinois. The locations were near Colfax, Lexington, and Stanford, Illinois. Plant samples and leaf area measurements were taken during the weeks of 12-17 June, 26-30 June, 10-14 July, 31 July-4 August, and 14-18 August 2000 in McLean County, Illinois. Corn plants were separated into leaf, stem, husk, and ear components, and soybean plants into leaf, stem, and pod components. The wet weights of the different plant parts were determined. To determine the plant dry biomass, the plant parts were dried in an oven until there was no weight change over two consecutive days. Leaf area for both corn and soybean canopies was measured using a LiCor-2000 instrument. Corn leaf area was also determined by manual measurements of leaf length and width. The smallest corn and soybean plants were at the Lexington location. The largest corn plants were at Colfax, and the largest soybean plants were at Stanford. The smaller plants at Lexington were a result of sandier soils containing less organic matter than the soils at either Stanford or Colfax. Although final yield was not measured as part of this sampling protocol, the size of the plants would indicate that Lexington should have the smallest corn and soybean yields, while the highest corn yields should have occurred at Colfax, and the highest soybean yields at Stanford.
