Tidal Wave
Warning System
Baffles Scientists
HONOLULU UFl — A workable
tidal wave warning system is a
near impossible dream that may
baffle science for “all of mankind
to come,” a California oceano
grapher said Tuesday.
“It’s awfully tough. I just don’t
think it can be done,” said Dr.
Walter Munk of the Scripps Insti
tute of Oceanography, La Jolla,
Calif. The problem, he said, is
that scientists cannot determine
which earthquakes, underseas vol
cano eruptions and — possibly —
nuclear blasts generate tidal
waves.
He added that even when a
wave is on its way it cannot be
detected.
“Nobody has even seen a
tsunami (tidal wave) moving
across the open sea and it isn’t
likely that anybody ever will,”
he said. “Tidal waves travel at
a speed of 500 miles an hour but
are not visible because the water
does not move.
“Instead, a low bulge about a
foot high sweeps unnoticed until
reaching shallow water and the
obstacle of a shoreline. Then it
sucks back the surf.”
Munk said at the 10th Pacific
Science Congress the major need
is a better system of tidal wave
gauges coupled with increased
knowledge of seismology to de
termine if an earthquake is
tsunami-producing.
“But even with that,” he said,
“the problem may be one for all
mankind to come to fight.”
Exchange of Tape Recordings
E. M. Luther of 2154 Linden
Ave., Long Beach, Calif., would
like to exchange tape recordings
with someone in Nome. Can use
either speed, 3Vi of IVz inches.
Luther is an invalid who has made
this a hobby. ^
