“Project BOMEX is in first phases: ultimately will use almost a dozen ships, two dozen planes, seven satellites, several ocean buoys, sea-going lab called FLIP, Omega navigation system, land-based computers, hundreds of people: goal is under-standing of environment–and interfaces–from 100,000 foot altitude to 18,000-foot depth in 90,000 square mile area of Atlantic Ocean near West Indies… Advances in long-range (monthly) weather forecasting are expected”

“The Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological EXperiment (BOMEX) was conducted from 1 May to 28 July 1969 as a joint project of seven US departments and agencies with the cooperation of Barbados. Its primary objective was to measure the rate of exchange of the properties of heat, moisture, and momentum between the tropical ocean and atmosphere over a 500 km square domain in a trade wind regime.”
