Title: Remote sensing and hydrologic modeling in arid watersheds: A scale analysis: Progress report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6271396

Research has included field work at Walnut Gulch and Plutonium Valley, acquisition of all remotely sensed data sets, and initial analysis of those data sets. Data collected included soil infiltrometer tests on major soil series at Walnut Gulch for quantification of soil runoff characteristics, soil texture analyses, and grain size analysis for major channel segments of Walnut Gulch. Field work also included preliminary surficial mapping at Plutonium Valley. These data will be used to evaluate soil and channel hydrologic characteristics for training remotely sensed data and for input into the SPUR hydrologic model. The first phase of the field survey has been successfully completed.
