Bumpus Lecture
A LIFE-SAVING LECTURE—During World War II, WHOI scientist Dean Bumpus teaches a class of Navy submariners how to use bathythermographs to avoid detection by enemy sonar. The instruments, developed at WHOI, measure ocean salinity and temperature, which affect the propagation of sound under water. (Photo courtesy of WHOI Archives)
