    • Comparison of Cooling Lake Mathematical Models for Mount Storm Lake 

      Adelaja, Olutoyin M.; Adams, E. Eric (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Aquatic Science and Environmental Engineering, MIT, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1990-03)
      Mt. Storm Lake is an impoundment of the Stony River that provides cooling for the three-unit electric generating station which is owned by Virginia Power. The lake is relatively deep and narrow with a submerged intake and ...

    • A Physiological Explanation for Vegetation Ecotones in Eastern North America 

      Arris, L. L.; Eagleson, P. S. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1989-06)
      Prediction of the vegetative cover of land surfaces as climatic conditions change is an important aspect of general circulation models that has not been adequately explored. In this study, a model is developed for the ...

    • The Analysis of River Basins and Channel Networks Using Digital Terrain Data 

      Tarboton, David G.; Bras, Rafael L.; Rodriguez-Iturbe, Ignacio (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, , Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1989-09)
      This work examines patterns of regularity and scale in landform and channel networks. Digital elevation model data sets from throughout the United States are used as a data source. First we consider the two-dimensional ...
