Opening the Great Depths
Author: Norman C Polmar
Publisher: Naval Institute Press
ISBN: 1682475921
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
Developed by French physicist Auguste Piccard and his son Jacques, the bathyscaph Trieste was a scientific marvel that allowed unprecedented scientific, technical, and military feats in the ocean depths. France and the United States both acquired and subsequently developed variants of the original bathyscaph. While both France and the United States employed the bathyscaph as a tool for scientific investigation of the deepest ocean depths, the U.S. Navy developed and employed the Trieste for military missions as well. From its earliest years, participants in the Trieste program realized that they were making history, blazing a trail into previously unexplored and unexploited depths, developing new capabilities and opening a new frontier. Comparisons with developments in space and the space-race between the United States and the Soviet Union often were made concerning the Trieste program and contemporary developments in undersea technologies and capabilities. The Trieste opened the entire oceans to exploration, exploitation, and operations. The bathyscaph was a first-generation system, a "Model-T" that spawned an entirely new industry and encouraged new concepts for deep-ocean naval operations. Advances in deep-sea technologies lacked the "gee-whiz" factor of the concurrent space race, but were highly significant in the development of new technology, new knowledge, and new military capabilities. Opening the Great Depths is the story of the three Trieste deep-ocean vehicles, their officers and enlisted men, and the civilians, often told in their own words, documenting for the first time the earliest years of humanity's probing into Earth's final frontier.

Oceanic Fronts and Their Seasonal Positions on the Surface
Author: Taivo Laevastu
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Ocean circulation
Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
Oceanic fronts have received relatively little attention in recent literature. The best overall summaries and oceanwide mapping of fronts are found in German works of the 1930's. The location and relative intensity of oceanic fronts at the surface are computed twice daily at Fleet Numerical Weather Central from sea-surface temperature analyses. The seasonal mean positions of the oceanic fronts in 1968 and their variations are presented in this paper. (Author).
