    Abstract
    A liquid level interferometer has been built to measure changes in water level to an accuracy of /8. A novel magnetic suspension is used to position the floating retroreflector of a laser interferometer. Direction sensing is achieved by dual optical channels phased near quadrature by means of an absorbing beamsplitter. The interferometer (laser) has been used to measure very accurately the drop in water level of a lined reservoir. The drop in water level thus provides a precise method of measuring evaporation. It was found that this drop in water level essentially ceased when the relative humidity approached very closely or equaled 100 percent during early morning calm periods. This provides a method of determination of seepage loss. In an unlined reservoir during calm periods when the relative humidity is 100 percent any remaining drop in water level is due to seepage. The laser can measure this rate.

    The export option will allow you to export the current search results of the entered query to a file. Different formats are available for download. To export the items, click on the button corresponding with the preferred download format.

    By default, clicking on the export buttons will result in a download of the allowed maximum amount of items.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" button and make a selection of the items you want to export. The amount of items that can be exported at once is similarly restricted as the full export.

    After making a selection, click one of the export format buttons. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to export format.
