GEOPHYSICS IN WARFARE. REPORT 2. ANALYSES OF GEOPHYSICAL PHENOMENA

Abstract

This report presents the results of a scientific analysis conducted as part of a one-year survey of geophysics in naval warfare. In the main study, reported separately and entitle Geophysics in Warfare, Report I-Geophysical Factors in Naval Warfare, the scientific feasibility and military significance to the Navy and Marine Corps of exploiting a large range of possibilities for either geophysical prediction r control are systematically explored and recommendations for the most fruitful follow-on programs are provided. In this report, details of the scientific analysis of feasibility of control of a number of geophysical phenomena are presented. In addition, there are presented the theoretical aspects of evaluating the utility of prediction and control in operations affected.
