Control of Coastal Lighting in Anti-Submarine Warfare

Abstract

After careful review and analysis of other sky glow investigations and in consultation with the Navy Department, a program of field tests was devised for the purpose of obtaining basic information concerning the characteristics of sky glow from artificial sources, evaluating the extent to which sky glow and shore lights are a factor in aiding enemy submarines, establishing amount of sky glow produced by various lighting and the degree of dimming required of such lighting, and investigating the utility and practicability of light control methods.
