 techniques and led by the same specialists as before) so that a 

 scientific morphology of the earth's environs is being derived 

 by the most modern physical methods. These include par- 

 ticularly computer programs which reduce and plot directly the 

 basic information with nearly real time speed. Indeed Brown, 

 Gabbe and their colleagues have been estimated to handle as 

 much space radiation information in the ongoing results from 

 the solid state counters which they have constructed and
