	Lloyd Berkner
		Lloyd Berner was born February 1, 1905, in Milwaukee, and died June 4, 1967, in Washington, D.C. He was the U.S. physicist and engineer who first measured the height and density of the ionosphere.
		In 1963 Berkner, with L.C. Marshall, advanced a theory to describe the way in which the atmospheres of the solar system's inner planets had evolved.
		As a naval officer beginning in 1926, Berkner helped develop radar and navigation systems, naval aircraft electronics engineering, and studies that led to the construction of the Distant Early Warning system, a chain of radar stations designed to give the United States advance warning in the event of a missile attack across the North Pole.

	[No title]
		It was Berkner who suggested that a third polar year be held in 1957-58 to take advantage of the period of maximum solar activities and several eclipses.
		Berkner's post-war work for the military's Joint Research and Development Board, the Department of Defense, and the State Department indicated his belief that scientific competence was integral to a successful U.S. foreign policy (Needell, 1987, 264-65).
		Berkner, ever alert to opportunities in international science, used the IGY to lobby for reinstatement of the science attaché program in the State Department.9 Not only was the program revived, but later the State Department established a Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs (1973-74).

		Lloyd V. Berkner (1905-1967) began his research career with the study of ionospheric conditions surrounding the transmission of radio signals, which he undertook during the period he served as a radio engineer with Byrd's 1928-1930 Antarctic expedition.
		Berkner continued this work during the 1930s while he was with the Carnegie Institution of Washington's Department of Terrestrial Magnetism.
		In the early 1950s, Berkner proposed an international research program that was to become the International Geophysical Year of 1957-1958-a massive undertaking of international scientific cooperation on a global scale.

	SHG - Condon Report, Appendix U: Robertson Committee Report
		Lloyd V. Berkner, as Panel Member, was present at this meeting for the first time.
		Berkner believed that one answer to this problem was the use of a "doppler filter" in the receiving might be better solved by the use of a "controlled jitter" wherein the operator receiving "very fast tracks" (on the order of 1000-10,000 m.p.h.) would operate a circuit which would alter slightly his station's pulse frequency rate.
		The teaching techniques used by this agency for aircraft identification during the past war was cited as an example of a similar educational task.

		Berkner had worked in the 1932 International Polar Year, and suggested that a Third Polar Year be conducted in 1957 or 1958, with the scope of the effort expanded to include space research activities.
		Berkner was a senior member of the ICSU, in fact he would soon become its president, and convinced the organization to back the Third Polar Year effort.
		Berkner was skeptical, but he still ran it past senior IGY committee members.

		I have worked a bit with Lloyd Berkner's papers and with the history of reorganizations during the war and after the war, and with Vannevar Bush.
		I was discussing with Berkner and others the problems of how you could bring the research strength of the country that existed in the universities into the pattern of making its greatest contribution.
		Gerald Tape suggested that one of the interests that led Lloyd down to Texas was, again that he felt being totally dependent on either the Atomic Energy Commission or the National Science Foundation, not being able to raise their own seed money, was really handicapping the ability of these organizations to get into the business.

		By most accounts, the privations on these two early operations were extreme, with the men spending less than 10% of their time on science, and the rest of the time devoted to survival.
		In the 1950s new instrumentation, including especially rocketry and seismography, inspired U.S. scientist Lloyd Berkner to propose a third polar year.
		The International Council of Scientific Unions[?], a parent body, broadened the proposals from polar studies to geophysical research.

		In anticipation of the NASA legislation, the National Academy of Sciences established the Space Science Board in the early summer of 1958 to advise the federal government on the conduct of scientific research in space.
		Space science in the United States benefited greatly from the close relationship and mutual respect between Berkner and James Webb, the second administrator of NASA and an especially effective one during the period of great growth of the agency.
		Indeed, members of the SSB had the heady, but only partially true, perception that they were writing the national scientific program in space in the form of well considered advice from the interested segment of the scientific community.
