The collection contains correspondence, manuscripts, lectures and class notes and data. Subjects of note include his work at Johns Hopkins University, New York University, and Wood Hole Oceanographic Institution, and the discovery of the equatorial undercurrent in the Pacific.
Raymond B. Montgomery was a marine meteorologist and physical oceanographer whose broad research interests centered on the equatorial currents, on the variation of sea level and on methods for the objective characterization of the structure of air and water masses. He was one of the first to use isentropic analysis, and he and his colleagues demonstrated how information about the general circulation of the ocean could be distilled from hydrographic station data. Montgomery was a student and then colleague of Carl-Gustav Rossby at MIT, and worked briefly with Athelstan Spilhaus in New York. He served on the scientific staff at WHOI during the 1940s and 1950s and retained close connectsion to the Institution until his death. He also served as editor of the "Journal of Atmospheric Science" (formerly "Journal of Meteorology") in the mid-1940s, and on several editorial boards.
