An instrument 1 which exploits geometric optics was devised to measure the thickness of slabs of optically transparent material such as Plexiglas or freshwater ice using a high-intensity light source. The apparatus consisting of a prism, a micrometer

Snow depth was measured with an L-band frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar operating from an aerial tramway up to 70 m above the ground. Snow depth, wetness, and slope varied greatly along the 2.4-km transect, with 640 m of relief. Radar

Washover is the condition of occasional, partial, or complete inundation of the surface of a body floating in water. Washover is typically caused by wave and wind action. A knowledge of the three-dimensional spatial and temporal parameters of seawate

Thousands of bridges throughout the United States have been identified as being scour critical (i.e., susceptible to failure from pier and (or) abutment scour). Scour occurs during times of rapid river flow when sediments, including rocks, gravel, an

A sled-mounted X-band FM-CW radar and field data reduction system was developed and field tested. An integral part of the measurement program was the use of a computer algorithm to pick peak radar amplitudes, which were needed to convert radar data i

A new, simple, and inexpensive prototype moisture sensor (patent pending) has been developed and tested in a small mockup of a low-sloped roof. The sensor comprises an inductor and a moisture-sensitive capacitor; it reqmres neither batteries nor wire
