LIKE MANY PHYSICAL EFFECTS WHICH ENABLE US TO LEARN MORE ABOUT NATURE
BUT ALSO WIDE- SPREAD FLUCTUATING ECHO TRACES OF A 'STIPPLED'
THE PHENOMENON WHICH HAS LED TO THE NEW SCIENCE OF RADIO OCEANOGRAPHY FIRST AROUSED ATTENTION BECAUSE OF ITS NUISANCE VALUE IN TRYING TO SEE SOMETHING ELSE. WHEN RADAR WAS FIRST USED AT SEA DURING WORLD WAR II
IT WAS FOUND THAT THE RADAR MAP OF THE SURROUNDING AREA PRODUCED ON THE PLAN POSITION INDICATOR SHOWED NOT ONLY ECHO TRACES FROM COASTLINES AND OTHER SHIPS
WORLD WAR II
