this manual in '44. I was commissioned in September of '43,
finally, and then finished the school in November, was assigned
to write this manual which was finished in the summer of '44, and
then I got an assignment to China.
Q: With Dr. Spilhaus? ·
A: No. I ended up being the weather equipment officer for
CBI and the Spilhaus came over later. At that time the war was
going very much better. Spilhaus and Duffy had a long range
storm detection system, the spheric system, the predecessor of
what's used now for lightning detection, the storm scopes, and
the LLP. If you're familiar with LLP, the lightning location
system ••.
Q: Used by the Weather Service.
A: We have one of the stations here on campus.
actually have, if you're interested later on we'll go
show you, we have a map of the lightning strokes over
u.s. as they occur. We have a read-out right here in
laboratory.
Q: So you're doing that work from China?
And we
over and
the entire
our
A: Spilhaus came over with the spherics net, it was
called, and got a station installed in Chianting, China to work,
of course, for the bombing of Japan. So Spilhaus came over I
think the summer of '45 is when he came over. We had the radio
wind, the ra-win, the SCR-658s, we had a number of them that were
being installed. We had one up in Yunan in the communist area;
we had several of them in China for getting good wind
measurements. Spilhaus had been involved in that. I think by
'45 it was clear that things would be over relatively soon. We
thought we'd be back in '48. In any event, he got an assignment
over to lOth Weather in the summer of '45 and came over.
Q: At what point did you ever hear the term long range
detection?
A: That's a good question. I didn't know the name Mogul
until Robert Todd told me two years ago. I'd never heard the
name Mogul -- the classification was that high. I knew what we
were doing. When "Helgoland" was exploded in April of 1 47, we
had balloons in the air. We launched balloons out of the Watson
Laboratory, actually Eatontown, what had been the Eatontown
Signal Laboratory, but I think it was now Watson Laboratory. In
any event, we launched a string of balloons, even though we
didn't have [constant-level] balloons, we still carried
microphones aloft and a C-54 orbited overhead and followed the
balloons out to sea. I have no idea about the results that they
got.
Q: Did you number that balloon flight?
