Title: BOMM
Subtitle: a system of programs for the analysis of time series
First published: 1969
Description: This book/manual is a description of the BOMM computer programme and how to use the system to analyse Time Series. It was first developed by Bullard, Oglebay, Munk and Miller, mainly to analyse ocean waves. It was then adapted for use on the Atalas computer in Oxfordshire in the 1960s by Peter Kent and later developed by others for use on the ICT 1906. These developments made the programme available to researchers in UK Universities in numerous disciplines. It was tested on the Atlas computer to analyse times series of the temperature of surface waters in the English channel, water flow down the river Indus and brain waves. It was then used to analyse the effect of large pulsed loads in the electricity grids of UK and Europe by repeatedly exporting and importing electricity over the cross channel link.
