Abstract | A scheme is described for processing and tabulating hydrographic and hydrologic records into standard data processing procedures. Punch cards and magnetic tapes are used for river stage field data. An X-Y chart reader was used to machine read values from the Stevens A-35 river stage recorder charts, and also from rating tables for each of the stream gaging stations. Programs were prepared for complete computation of streamflow volumes, and tabulations. Hydrologic data were also programmed and processed, such as snow survey data, precipitation, temperature, etc. Fifty years of records were completely recomputed and compiled for ADP procedures for the Southern California Edison Company. |
