The Mid-Ocean Dynamics Experiment(MODE), carried out between March and July of 1973, was a collection of twelve experimental and theoretical scientific projects performed simultaneaously. Using different instruments to measure the same phenomena from dissimilar views, the project explored the role of mesoscale eddy motions in the dynamics of general oceanic circulation. The collection primarily consists of correspondence, notes, meeting minutes, proposals, strategy statements, and reports from the working files of various project members.

  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry

Passive decoding. Commonly, identities will be known by either flight planning or radiotelephone request. Operators are usually given sets of controls upon which they can set any mode and code combinations, again using the four digits octal structure. When the control is activated the decoder looks for correspondence between the set values and all replies. When correspondence occurs a further signal is generated by the decoder to augment that due to detection of F1/F2. Thus unique identity of a number of targets can be established.
