Influence of seasonal climatic variability on shallow infiltration at Yucca Mountain Influence of seasonal climatic variability on shallow infiltration at Yucca Mountain
To analyze infiltration and the redistribution of moisture in alluvial deposits at Yucca Mountain, water content profiles at a 13.5 m deep borehole were measured at monthly intervals using a neutron moisture probe. Increases in water content to a maximum depth of 1.8 m in response to winter season precipitation were noted. Below a depth of 1.8 m, a gradual drying trend was indicated. A...

Precipitation estimation in mountainous terrain using multivariate geostatistics. Part II: isohyetal maps Precipitation estimation in mountainous terrain using multivariate geostatistics. Part II: isohyetal maps
Values of average annual precipitation (AAP) may be important for hydrologic characterization of a potential high-level nuclear-waste repository site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Reliable measurements of AAP are sparse in the vicinity of Yucca Mountain, and estimates of AAP were needed for an isohyetal mapping over a 2600-square-mile watershed containing Yucca Mountain. Estimates were...

Precipitation estimation in mountainous terrain using multivariate geostatistics. Part I: structural analysis Precipitation estimation in mountainous terrain using multivariate geostatistics. Part I: structural analysis
Values of average annual precipitation (AAP) are desired for hydrologic studies within a watershed containing Yucca Mountain, Nevada, a potential site for a high-level nuclear-waste repository. Reliable values of AAP are not yet available for most areas within this watershed because of a sparsity of precipitation measurements and the need to obtain measurements over a sufficient length...
