Ocklawaha River Basin Rainfall Yield Analysis<br />
January 2008; 19 pp.; In English<br />
Report No.(s): PB2010-107720; SJ-2008-SP8; No Copyright; Avail.: National <strong>Technical</strong> Information Service (NTIS)<br />
<strong>The</strong> primary purpose of this technical memor<strong>and</strong>um (TM) is to report the results of an investigation of the relationship<br />
between total annual rainfall <strong>and</strong> total annual yield of the Ocklawaha River Basin. This investigation was performed to support<br />
discussions <strong>and</strong> decisions concerning the possible development of water supplies from the Lower Ocklawaha River. <strong>The</strong><br />
Lower Ocklawaha River is described as the portion of the Ocklawaha River extending from its confluence with the Silver<br />
River downstream to the St. Johns River <strong>and</strong> is the focus of this investigation. <strong>The</strong> analysis is based on average annual water<br />
year discharge records published by the USA Geological Survey (USGS) <strong>and</strong> total annual water year rainfall depths derived<br />
from National Oceanic <strong>and</strong> Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) monthly rainfall records.<br />

<strong>The</strong> activities of the offshore oil & gas industry in the Gulf of Mexico have intensified <strong>and</strong> extended further offshore in<br />
recent decades, creating new challenges for marine resource <strong>and</strong> environmental management <strong>and</strong> new opportunities for marine<br />
scientific research. <strong>The</strong>se opportunities include the study of the circulation of the Gulf of Mexico in its full glory of powerful<br />
mean current jets, fronts, <strong>and</strong> mesoscale eddies <strong>and</strong> their interactions with steep bottom topography; the Mississippi-<br />
Atchafalaya River plume; <strong>and</strong> the passage of tropical cyclones in the summer <strong>and</strong> cold fronts in the winter. Observations <strong>and</strong><br />
numerical modeling of the Gulfs circulation suggest that observations <strong>and</strong> models must be linked to generate sound estimates<br />
of the spatially complex <strong>and</strong> temporally variable circulation. American <strong>and</strong> Mexican offshore oil & gas exploration <strong>and</strong><br />
production has spread from the inner continental shelf regions to the continental slope <strong>and</strong> now to the deep Gulf. In recent<br />
years, both American <strong>and</strong> Mexican scientific investigations of the circulation have extended into deeper waters, too. Hence,<br />
American <strong>and</strong> Mexican offshore industries, environmentalists, <strong>and</strong> research scientists share an interest in a comprehensive<br />
description, underst<strong>and</strong>ing, <strong>and</strong> predictive capability for the Gulf circulation. With both the USA <strong>and</strong> Mexico planning further<br />
extensive field <strong>and</strong> modeling studies in the near-future, it was thought timely to conduct a workshop to discuss recent results<br />
<strong>and</strong> coordinate plans, with the hope that more of the space-time variability could be characterized than otherwise would be<br />
possible by either country alone.<br />

Individual raw data streams from instrumentation at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program Climate<br />
Research Facility (ACRF) fixed <strong>and</strong> mobile sites are collected <strong>and</strong> sent to the Data Management Facility (DMF) at Pacific<br />
Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) for processing in near real-time. Raw <strong>and</strong> processed data are then sent approximately<br />
daily to the ACRF Archive, where they are made available to users. For each instrument, we calculate the ratio of the actual<br />
number of data records received daily at the Archive to the expected number of data records. <strong>The</strong> results are tabulated by (1)<br />
individual data stream, site, <strong>and</strong> month for the current year <strong>and</strong> (2) site <strong>and</strong> fiscal year (FY) dating back to 1998.<br />
