This book will bw of great value to the student of surveying and field astronomy, as well as to the practising engineer and surveyor. Each chapter contains the basic principles of a particular topic, concisely presented, together with a sustantial number of examples illustrating the way in wich specific problems can be solved. These are followed by a series of problems, with answer, which can b…
This book is a basic groundwater hydrology text addresed to students and practitioners in hydrology, engineering, geology, agriculture, geography, ecology, and other diciplines concerned with groundwater. Groundwater hydrology is a broad field with many ramifications. Some books on the subject stress well-drilling technology. This book emphasizes environmental aspects of groundwater. hus, in ad…
Although it is astronomical forcing (the gravitational effects of the moon and sun on the oceans) that makes the tides so predictable, it is the hydrodynamics (i.e., physics of the water movement) that determines the size and timing of the tides. When we speak of the tidal hydrodynamics of estuaries, we are speaking of shallow-water tides, which have much larger tidal ranges and faster tidal cu…
This book is designed to meet the demand for a convenient text reference for general data, basic theory, and methods of application. The emphasis throughout has been on the presentation of methods for practical application of hydrology and on data which present the means and ranges of variation of the key elements in hydrology. Basic data are limited to the continental United States except in s…
Recent advances and techniques in precise geoid determination are presented with a discussion of their implication for geophysical and oceanographic research, as well as identification and formulation of a goal on which future geoid research should focus. The volume is divided into the following sections: - The Geoid - Sea Surface Topography - The Vertical Datum - Miscellaneous
