HYDROLOGICAL, METEOROLOGICAL AND OCEANOGRAPHIC TABLES
1. Purpose and objective
To provide tables of scientific data used in hydrology, meteorology
and oceanography in a convenient and flexible computerised format
2. Description
Three packages are available, one for each of hydrological,
meteorological and oceanographic tables. Each package consists of hardbound
documentation plus a diskette. The documentation is a concise compendium
of useful equations and contains a full explanation and referencing of all
assumptions made in the computations. The diskette contains user friendly
software to generate and present the tables. Software is also provided to graph the tables. The tables in each package cover:
Hydrological Tables
| - Catchment hydrology | - Open water evaporation | - Sediment transport |
| - Drought indices | - Soil moisture properties | - Beaufort scale |
| - Special functions | - Longitudinal dispersion | - Physical properties of water |
| - SI, metric, US units conversion | - Dissolved gases in freshwater | - Radiation through a cloudy atmosphere |
| - Open channel flow | - Extreme value statistics |
Meteorological Tables
| - Hydrometry | - Psychrometry | - Vertical wind profile |
| - Reference atmosphere | - Radiation incident on slopes | - Beaufort scale |
| - Vertical properties of the atmosphere | - Gaussian plumes | - Saturation vapour pressure |
| - Physical properties of air | - Grassland fire tables | |
| - Transport properties of air | - Meteorological temperatures |
Oceanographic Tables
| - Tidal prediction tables | - Dynamic oceanography | - Blackbody radiation |
| - Wind wave and ideal wave properties | - Beaufort scale, wind speed conversions | - Saturation vapour pressure, latent heats |
| - Physical properties of seawater | - Transport properties of seawater | - Geodetic tables, Ekman spiral |
| - Dissolved gases in seawater | - Weibull distribution | - Sediment deposition |
| - Normal and Chi-squared distribution |
3. Input
User selection of table and entry of the necessary parameter
information for the calculations.
4. Output
Tabulation of results on the screen with options for printing.
5. Operational requirements and restrictions
The software requires DOS 2.10 or later plus at least 256K of RAM
to run.
6. Form of presentation
Hardbound documentation in English and a 3.5-inch floppy diskette in
MSDOS format.
7. Operational experience
The Tables are commercially available and used by practitioners in a
number of countries.
8. Originator and technical support
The Tables are available from and supported by:
| Applied Environmetrics | Applied Environmetrics | Applied Environmetrics |
| PO Box 5137 | 65 Riefield Rd | 8109 E. Bratt Rd |
| Mordialloc | London SE9 2RA | Fairfield, WA 99012 |
| Victoria 3195 | England | USA |
