HELP! I know I saw something about these recently, but can't retrieve the source. Was it on here? Was it a link from a link?

Re: 10 mm waves anyone? Microseisms, anyone?
While Townsend was waiting to be "discovered" by the infant USAF, the Great Gravity Flap of 1952 was going on all around him.
Meinescz had been called in to upgrade the gravity calculation methods of the USAF Geophysical Research Directorate, to extend them into effects as felt above the earth. At the same time, they partnered with Office of Naval Research to host the first international symposium on Microseisms, the study of seabed quivers and observable surface and atmospheric effects.
At the end of the conference there was no agreement on anything, except that the quivers probably had different sources, some atmospheric, and some not Nonetheless, it must have been a very exciting time for the attendees, to be able to see their detailed wave propagation and wave interaction charts published for the first time.

Would nascent electronics engineers and physicists have scoured those diagrams for insights transferrable to their own field, specifically, say... to the field of surface science/plasma physics?
Asking for a friend.
