From Introduction: "In the present paper, the variation of effective gust velocity in convective-type clouds with altitude is investigated. Data obtained during 1941 and 1942 at altitudes up to 34,000 feet and data obtained more recently from the Thunderstorm Project (reference 5) at altitudes up to 26,000 feet are utilized for this purpose. Consideration is given in analyzing the results both to data for the range

From introduction: This study is part of a regional study of the Tertiary limestone aquifer system in the southeastern United States. The regional study encompasses all of Florida and extends into Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina--a total area of about 82,000 square miles.

From abstract: The land-pebble phosphate district of Florida is a part of the Gulf Coastal Plain. The geologic formations cropping out in the district are the Miocene Hawthorn, Pliocene Bone Valley, and Pleistocene terrace sands. The Bone Valley formation consists of a lower strongly phosphatic unit and an upper less phosphatic unit. This paper is concerned principally with the lower unit, which contains the bulk of the minable phosphate deposits of the district.

Report discussing the distribution, composition, and origin of the phosphate deposits in the land-pebble district in the Gulf Coastal Plain of Florida.

This report is based on work done by the US Geological Survey on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the US Atomic Energy Commission.

This report examines the water quality of water within the Miami Canal, an important source of recharge for the recharge for the Biscayne aquifer. It includes maps and other figures.

"This report presents flood heights and profiles for a seventy-mile reach of Peace River from Bartow to Arcadia," Florida, "calculated using the United States Geological Survey step-backwater model." It includes maps, graphs, and tables.

The following report is based mainly on information obtained from lithologic and gamma-ray logs of drill holes in the Lakeland Highlands area and Clark James-South Ridgewood.

On January 14, 2009, the Navy announced that it wants to transfer one of its nuclear-powered aircraft carriers (CVNs) to the Navy home port at Mayport, FL, known formally as Naval Station (NAVSTA) Mayport. The Navy's proposed FY2010 budget requests $46.3 million in Military Construction (MilCon) funding for channel dredging at Mayport. The Navy states that a key reason it wants to transfer a CVN to Mayport is to hedge against the risk of a catastrophic event that could damage the Navy's CVN homeporting facilities at Norfolk, VA, and nearby Newport News, VA. This report discusses potential questions for Congress to consider related to budget appropriations for such a transfer, the potential negative economic effects that a CVN transfer would have on the local homeport, and the other general questions regarding the Navy.

From purposes and scope: The purposes of this investigation are to make a qualitative assessment of the effects on water quality of pumping water into the conservation areas, and specifically to evaluate the uptake by sediment and biota of nitrogen, phosphorus, and selected trace elements contained in the water.
