Chronology: From the Cambridge Field Station to the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory, 1945-1985

Abstract

This chronology covers the entire history (1945-1985) of the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory and its three predecessor organizations. (The latter consist of the Cambridge Field Station, the Air Force Cambridge Research Center, and the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories.) The CHRONOLOGY lists major organizational developments and events relating to scientific programs. It also includes illustrations and appendices. The work is intended to provide a historical reference for staff at the Laboratory and at related government agencies. Keywords: Air Force research; Geophysics; Solar radiations; Space physics; Ionospheric physics; Aeronomy; Meteorology; Optical physics; Infrared technology; Seismology; Geodesy; Gravity; Balloon technology; Rocket instrumentation; Solid state sciences; and Electromagnetic propagation.
