Maurice Ewing
William Maurice 'Doc' Ewing (1906-1974), pioneering Columbia geophysicist and founder of the Lamont Geological Observatory. In fall 1945 he conceived the constant-level-balloon acoustic-surveillance concept behind Project Mogul - detecting Soviet nuclear tests via the upper-atmosphere sound channel - and pitched it to Gen. Carl Spaatz.

This map saysconceived the acoustic constant-level-balloon concept behind Mogul (fall 1945) and pitched it to Gen. Carl SpaatzThe document saysLong range, balloon-borne, low frequency acoustic detection was posed to General Spaatz in 1945 by Dr. Maurice Ewing of Columbia University as a potential solution (atmospheric ducting of low frequency pressure waves had been studied as early as 1900).Report of Air Force Research Regarding the "Roswell Incident", 1994
