CORRESPONDENCE

Scope and Content of Series

Series 2) CORRESPONDENCE: Arranged in four parallel, complementary, chronological subseries based on the original order of transferred files. The subseries each include correspondence from many Vis Lab researchers, often in carbon copy. Arranged in four subseries: A) Outgoing Chronological Files; B) S. Q. Duntley Files, C) James L. Harris, Sr. Files, and D) Roswell Austin Files.

A) Outgoing Chronological Files: Blue carbon copies of outgoing correspondence created by all staff and researchers at Vis Lab, including directors and managers. Arranged in original chronological order.

B) S. Q. Duntley Files: Includes miscellaneous early correspondence, and Duntley's director correspondence files. The director's files include some incoming correspondence addressed to Duntley, but the bulk consists of outgoing carbon copies of letters written by Duntley and other Vis Lab researchers (especially John E. Tyler and Raymond Smith). Arranged in original chronological order, though some years have multiple files with overlapping dates. Extensive additional correspondence by Duntley may be found in relevant contract and project files, particularly for the Navy's ONR and Bureau of Ships.

C) James L. Harris, Sr. Files: Harris was manager of research at Vis Lab, and also served as director from 1976-1979. Like Austin and Duntley, he maintained his own professional correspondence files that include incoming letters, and carbon copies of his outgoing letters.

D) Roswell Austin Files: Austin was the Laboratory manager at Vis Lab until he became acting director in 1979 (and eventually, director). Material consists of Austin's professional correspondence files. Copies of letters and memos by Austin may also appear in Duntley's files.

Series 4) ARMED FORCES-NRC VISION COMMITTEE: Comprised of representatives from the Air Force, Army, Navy, and the National Research Council (NRC), the Armed Forces-NRC Vision Committee was charged with connecting members of the Armed Forces with civilian scientists working on problems related to vision. Working groups were established to focus on specific vision problems and to advise the military. S. Q.

PROJECTS, PROPOSALS AND CONTRACTS

Scope and Content of Series

Series 5) PROJECTS, PROPOSALS AND CONTRACTS: The Visibility Lab was almost entirely funded by contracts it procured with the federal government and research partners at other laboratories. This series contains Vis Lab's records of contract activity, including proposals, project descriptions, activity reports, and funding. Materials are arranged, where possible, by the primary contracting source, then chronologically, with major partners separated into distinct subseries. Some contracts evolved over many years with complex joint funding arrangements, for example between the Air Force and Navy, or NASA and NOAA. Materials are filed by the primary contact listed on the contract cover sheet and related correspondence, and reflect the Lab's original groupings of material.

Major contracts related to Vis Lab's work with NASA and other government partners on the remote sensing of ocean color using CZCS imagery from the Nimbus-7 satellite are found in Series 6) REMOTE SENSING OF OCEAN COLOR/CZCS, though complementary and related contracts may be included in Series 5.

Additional material that supported or was produced by contract assignments may also be found in Series 7) RESEARCH, WRITINGS AND PRESENTATIONS, as the Vis Lab did not consistently link research to a contract number, and maintained a separate library of written work product. Researchers should search the finding aid by keyword, contract number, and subject terms to discover relevant material about any given research topic.

Arranged chronologically within seven series: A) Air Force, B) Navy - Bureau of Ships, C) Navy - Office of Naval Research, D) Navy - Other, E) National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), F) NASA - Project Gemini, and G) Other Contract Partners (A-Z).

Note on subseries F) Project Gemini: On May 15, 1963 NASA astronaut Gordon Cooper reported that he could see vehicles raising dust along the U.S.-Mexico border from his Mercury VII space capsule. Cooper's observation was disputed by some scientists. NASA contracted with the Visibility Laboratory to investigate and perform a Visual Acuity Experiment for Gemini flights 5 and 7 in 1965. Vis Lab scientists confirmed 84% probability that a trained pilot could correctly interpret dust patterns as vehicles and that Cooper's observation was consistent with border patrol vehicles operating that day in El Centro, California.

REMOTE SENSING OF OCEAN COLOR/CZCS

Scope and Content of Series

Series 6) REMOTE SENSING OF OCEAN COLOR/CZCS: In 1966, NASA provided funding to the Navy Oceanographic Office (NOO) to create the Spacecraft Oceanography (SPOC) Program Office. SPOC's charge was to coordinate and support research on the remote sensing of the oceans. In July 1971 SPOC was transferred from NOO to the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), and designated as the Remote Sensing Oceanography (ROSC) Project. In 1972 it was transferred to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Environmental Satellite Service (NESS). These files document the Visibility Lab's participation in the SPOC Program, especially S. Q. Duntley and Roswell Austin, who were pioneers in ocean color research and the related field of atmospheric optics.

In 1973, the Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) program was approved. The CZCS, from its position aboard the Nimbus-7 spacecraft (launched in October 1978), was designed to collect imagery data about the oceans. In 1975, a SPOC Nimbus Experiment Team (NET), including Austin, was formed to develop algorithms for NASA to correct the CZCS's image data from derogation caused by atmospheric effects. They conducted "surface truth" cruises to capture oceanographic measurements to develop validation techniques for CZCS data. The latter parts of this series show the evolution of Visibility Lab's participation in remote sensing of ocean color research with the CZCS, with NOAA/NESS, NASA and Navy ONR/DARPA contracts. Additional material about the CZCS and ocean color research may also be found throughout the collection. For more information on the history of the SPOC Program and remote sensing of the oceans, see Ocean Colour: Theory and Applications in a Decade of CZCS Experience, ed. Barale and Schlittenhardt (1991).

PHOTOGRAPHS

Scope and Content of Series

Series 9) PHOTOGRAPHS: The Visibility Laboratory maintained a negative archive of images documenting their projects and instruments. This series includes a small number of prints produced from the negatives, and nearly 1,000 negatives. Each negative was given a number, which was recorded in a variety of indices and logs (by number, by subject, by researcher, etc.). The indices have been digitized to facilitate searching by negative number.

Arranged in two subseries: A) Prints, and B) Negative Archive.
