Milestones in the NEL Deep Submergence Program

摘要

This report summarizes the scientific efforts of the Deep Submergence Program at the Navy Electronics laboratory, San Diego, California. Since its inception in 1958, the program has been vitally concerned with development of techniques, instrumentation, and vehicles to fulfill its assignment - research of the marine environment, from the continental shelf to the abyssal sea floor. While NEL's primary interests are in relating applied research data in marine acoustics, biology, geology, and physical oceanography to antisubmarine and submarine warfare projects, the Deep Submergence Program has also added significantly to man's basic knowledge of the ocean sciences.
