Appendix F GLOSSARY A large number of alphabetic abbreviations are frequently used in the text of this report because of the rather unwieldy descriptive names applied to specialized project equipment. Furthermore, certain common words are used in a specialized or restrictive sense when discussing the phenomena connected with the underwater events. For greater convenience, these terms are assembled and briefly defined here. When additional discussion of the word or abbreviation appears in the text, a section reference is given parenthetically following the definition. The glossary is preceded by the key used in the summary presentation of the gamma records in Sections 3.3.2 and 3.4.1. KEY FOR MASTER TABLE (TABLE 3.11) AND FOR INDIVIDUAL STATION DATA (Figures 3.66 through 3.96) 1. Gamma dose rate record: gamma dose rate versus time corrected for instrument response; type of detector indicated. Normalized rate curve for instrument shown from 1 minute until end of record. 2. Transit plot: plan view of various surge boundaries at beginning and end of transit. Boundaries shown for times indicated. Letter designators for boundaries same as those given in tabulated section of this key. 3. Tabular data: same key applicable also for master table (Table 3.11). General: letter designators and other general symbols used in the table: - = no data available () = value is estimated CA = point of closest surge approach cale = calculated data CR = point where B, recedes DD = drifting ED = inner edge influences EX = expanded surge boundary OL # station outside lagoon OV = coracle overturned obs = observed data poss = possibly msg = observation expected but not observed Records: [ ] = see notes for boundaryplot msk = observation masked by a concurrent event n.a. = not applicable, occurrence is unlikely NC = not central decrement neg = negative value RF = reef station sat = instrument saturated WW = interference due to white water XTP = extrapolated data records given are complete unless parenthetically indicated or modified as stated. Modifying conditions: basis of estimated time of overturn given in parenthesis: (no 2nd rise) = the instrument failed to record the passage of the upwind surge accurately; (sec-GITR track) = the secondary GITR tracked the std-GITR until the time of the estimate; GITR OK = std-GITR was not damaged by overturn; GITR damaged = std-GITR damaged by overturn. Types of transit are illustrated in Figure 3.63; the letter designators used are: SN = skirting transit, an upwind event TN = total envelopment, an upwind event 417 YA C = central transit D = distant transit
