Abstract Considering that all the fundamental work in physics is done in the metric system, and that it is important that results obtained in the U. S. be readily comparable with those obtained elsewhere, I think it would be desirable that the authors of papers to be published in Geophysics be asked to give their measurements also (or only,if they prefer) in the metric system. For instance: “The velocity is 3,500 ft/sec (1.067 km/sec).”
