Subjects include the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), visual acuity, underwater visibility, haze paint, camouflage, physiological optics, and hydrologic optics.
Collections 88-29 and 2006-37 (Roswell Austin records, 1955-1988) includes appointment calendars, manuscripts of scientific papers, office files, proposal and grant files, subject files and other records documenting Roswell W. Austin's work as director of the Visibility Laboratory. Subjects include underwater visibility, remote sensing, ocean color, turbidity, Scripps Submarine Canyon, visual acuity, bioluminescence, ice optics, California Space Institute and California Sea Grant.
Established at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1939 to apply optics to problems of camouflage. During the war, the laboratory received National Defense Research Council funds to study camouflage, target location, and the visibility of downed pilots. After the war, the laboratory received support from the Office of Naval Research and the Air Force, and in 1952 the laboratory was moved to California and became part of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. From 1952 until the laboratory ceased operation in 1987, it was supported by the Navy, the Air Force, and NASA.
