As a result the system will serve as a communication link at the
interfaces between disciplines required for solution of the overall
mission problems. For example, it will serve to direct a physicist or
a meteorologist to focus on a problem insuch a manner that his results
are pertinent to a biological problem.
Columns1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 12, and15 (see Table 1) will contain the field
data shown in the right-hand column of Fig. 1. Columns 9, 11, and 14
will contain data on controlled laboratory experiments. Columns 2, 4,
7, 10, and 13 will contain those relations requiring determination of
critical values through the use of the data in the other columns.
Each column contains a number of boxes that designate general
categories of information within the column, and each box in turn contains a listing of specific kinds of information within the particular
category. Thus each specific kind of information will be identified by
a six-digit code: two digits for the column, two for the box, and two for
the listing. It is important to point out that this matrix is dynamic in
that it is changed almost daily (andit is important that this flexibility be
preserved) by the addition of a column, a box, or a new item in listing. For example, in column 2 there is a box designated “Fireball
Phenomenology”; it is expected that this box will eventually become a
column.
