| Abstract: | This publication represents a series of papers devoted to the subject of collection, storage, retrieval, and publication of hydrologic data. The papers were presented by members of the U.S. Geological Survey at the International Seminar on Organization and Operation of Hydrologic Services, Ottawa, Canada, July 15-16, 1976, sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization. The first paper, ‘ Standardization of Hydrologic Measurements, ‘ by George F. Smoot discusses the need for standardization of the methods and instruments used in measuring hydrologic data. The second paper, ‘ Use of Earth Satellites for Automation of Hydrologic Data Collection, ‘ by Richard W. Paulson discusses the use of inexpensive battery-operated radios to transmit realtime hydrologic data to earth satellites and back to ground receiving stations for computer processing. The third paper, ‘ Operation Hydrometeorological Data-Collection System for the Columbia River, ‘ by Nicholas A. Kallio discusses the operation of a complex water-management system for a large river basin utilizing the latest automatic telemetry and processing devices. The fourth paper, ‘ Storage and Retrieval of Water-Resources Data, ‘ by Charles R. Showen discusses the U.S. Geological Survey ‘s National Water Data Storage and Retrieval System (WATSTORE) and its use in processing water resources data. The final paper, ‘ Publication of Water Resources Data, ‘ by S. M. Lang and C. B. Ham discusses the requirement for publication of water-resources data to meet the needs of a widespread audience and for archival purposes. (See W78-09324 thru W78-09328) (Woodard-USGS) |
