Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spectral and spatial reflectance properties of four samples of Nevada Test Site soils are described. Spectral measurements were made on a variety of instruments in the laboratory. All samples showed the same trend of increased reflectance with increasing wavelength, but the value of reflectance at any one wavelength varied considerably among the samples. A correlation was found between reflectance and geographical location in the test area. The spatial reflectance of all samples was near enough to that of a Lambert reflector to use this approximation in calculations. The albedo of the soils was measured directly using bomb light and was found to be in good agreement with albedos computed from spectral reflectance and spectral distribution of bomb light.

Download or read book Particle-Size-Distribution of Nevada Test Site Soils written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The amount of each size particle in a given soil is called the particle-size distribution (PSD), and the way it feels to the touch is called the soil texture. Sand, silt, and clay are the three particle sizes of mineral material found in soils. Sand is the largest sized particle and it feels gritty; silt is medium sized and it feels floury; and clay is the smallest and if feels sticky. Knowing the particle-size distribution of a soil sample helps to understand many soil properties such as how much water, heat, and nutrients the soil will hold, how fast water and heat will move through the soil, and what kind of structure, bulk density and consistence the soil will have. Furthermore, the native particle-size distribution of the soil in the vicinity of ground zero of a nuclear detonation plays a major role in nuclear fallout. For soils that have a high-sand content, the near-range fallout will be relatively high and the far-range fallout will be relatively light. Whereas, for soils that have a high-silt and high-clay content, the near-range fallout will be significantly lower and the far-range fallout will be significantly higher. As part of a program funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has recently measured the PSDs from the various major areas at the Nevada Test Site where atmospheric detonations and/or nuclear weapon safety tests were performed back in the 50s and 60s. The purpose of this report is to document those results.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Characterizing arid region soils and vegetation conditions from remotely sensed imagery is limited by low interband and intraspectral reflectance contrast between soil and vegetation. This study has evaluated the spectral response of semiarid soils and vegetation and the utility of four calculated Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) band ratios and band transformations for discriminating soil and vegetation. Ground-level reflectance spectra were taken of 62 soil and 236 vegetation surfaces. Mean reflectances were were calculated for the equivalent TM Bands 1,2,3 and 4. All two-band ratios, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and the brightness, greenness, and yellowness transformation were calculated. Soil reflectance spectra are highly variable, yet predictable: They increased directly with wavelength over the visible-near infrared (NIR) region and have low interband contrast. Vegetation spectra are less predictable because various plant structures and phenology affect the spectral response and the visible-to-NIR reflectance contrast. Keywords: Arid region soils, Vegetation, Bank ratios, Band transformations, Reflectance spectra.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was introduced on December 2, 1970 by President Richard Nixon. The agency is charged with protecting human health and the environment, by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress. The EPA's struggle to protect health and the environment is seen through each of its official publications. These publications outline new policies, detail problems with enforcing laws, document the need for new legislation, and describe new tactics to use to solve these issues. This collection of publications ranges from historic documents to reports released in the new millennium, and features works like: Bicycle for a Better Environment, Health Effects of Increasing Sulfur Oxides Emissions Draft, and Women and Environmental Health.

Download or read book Evaluation of Soil Radioactivity Data from the Nevada Test Site written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1951, 933 nuclear tests have been conducted at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) and test areas on the adjacent Tonopah Test Range (TTR) and Nellis Air Force Range (NAFR). Until the early 1960s. the majority of tests were atmospheric, involving detonation of nuclear explosive devices on the ground or on a tower, suspended from a balloon or dropped from an airplane. Since the signing of the Limited Test Ban Treaty in 1963, most tests have been conducted underground, although several shallow subsurface tests took place between 1962 and 1968. As a result of the aboveground and near-surface nuclear explosions, as well as ventings of underground tests, destruction of nuclear devices with conventional explosives, and nuclear-rocket engine tests, the surface soil on portions of the NTS has been contaminated with radionuclides. Relatively little consideration was given to the environmental effects of nuclear testing during the first two decades of operations at the NTS. Since the early 1970s, however, increasingly strict environmental regulations have forced greater attention to be given to contamination problems at the site and how to remediate them. One key element in the current environmental restoration program at the NTS is determining the amount and extent of radioactivity in the surface soil. The general distribution of soil radioactivity on the NTS is already well known as a result of several programs carried out in the 1970s and 1980s. However, questions have been raised as to whether the data from those earlier studies are suitable for use in the current environmental assessments and risk analyses. The primary purpose of this preliminary data review is to determine to what extent the historical data collected at the NTS can be used in the characterization/remediation process.
