Current loops fitted to geomagnetic model spherical harmonic coefficients. Current loops fitted to geomagnetic model spherical harmonic coefficients.
One hundred-sixty circular current loops with radial axes were fitted by least squares to the 899 spherical harmonic coefficients of a 29th degree model. In the first case, the parameters that were fitted for each loop were the normalized magnetic moment, the distance from the center of the Earth to the current element, the colatitude and E. longitude of the loop axis, and one-half of...

Hydraulics and basin morphometry of the largest flash floods in the conterminous United States Hydraulics and basin morphometry of the largest flash floods in the conterminous United States
The maximum rainfall-runoff floods measured by indirect methods in small basins (0.39-370 km2) in the conterminous United States are examined. This analysis identified twelve floods that were the largest ever measured. These floods all occurred in semiarid to arid areas. For eleven of the twelve largest rainfall-runoff floods measured in small basins by the slope-area method, values of...

Some effects of quiet geomagnetic field changes upon values used for main field modeling Some effects of quiet geomagnetic field changes upon values used for main field modeling
The effects of three methods of data selection upon the assumed main field levels for geomagnetic observatory records used in main field modeling were investigated for a year of very low solar-terrestrial activity. The first method concerned the differences between the year's average of quiet day field values and the average of all values during the year. For H these differences were 2-3...

The geomagnetic jerk of 1969 and the DGRFs The geomagnetic jerk of 1969 and the DGRFs
Cubic spline fits to the DGRF/IGRF series indicate agreement with other analyses showing the 1969-1970 magnetic jerk in the h ??12 and g ??02 secular change coefficients, and agreement that the h ??11 term showed no sharp change. The variation of the g ??01 term is out of phase with other analyses indicating a likely error in its representation in the 1965-1975 interval. We recommend...

Valles Marineris, Mars: Wet debris flows and ground ice Valles Marineris, Mars: Wet debris flows and ground ice
Detailed study of the Valles Marineris equatorial troughs suggests that the landslides in that area contained water and probably were gigantic wet debris flows: one landslide complex generated a channel that has several bends and extends for 250 km. Further support for water or ice in debris masses includes rounded flow lobes and transport of some slide masses in the direction of the...

The crustal structure of the axis of the Great Valley, California, from seismic refraction measurements The crustal structure of the axis of the Great Valley, California, from seismic refraction measurements
In 1982 the U.S. Geological Survey collected six seismic refraction profiles in the Great Valley of California: three axial profiles with a maximum shot-to-receiver offset of 160 km, and three shorter profiles perpendicular to the valley axis. This paper presents the results of two-dimensional raytracing and synthetic seismogram modeling of the central axial profile. The crust of the...
