State Board

On September 15, 1930, the State Board of Commerce and Navigation of New Jersey made a ruling that aircraft would not be permitted to land on any New Jersey waters above tidewater within the jurisdiction of the state. The application had been made for permission to operate a five passenger flying boat between Nolan's Point, Lake Hopatcong, a vacation resort, and New York City, and to set off a portion of the lake to make a landing place for the hydroairplane. It was stated that other inland waters in New Jersey were being used for a similar purpose, and the ground of the refusal was that aircraft flying from water constituted a menace to surface navigation. This ruling created considerable newspaper comment and aroused vigorous protest from persons interested in aviation, and by order of October 20, 1930, the ruling was limited to Lake Hopatcong.

Vertical Gravity Gradient

Careful gravity measurements with La Coste‐Romberg geodetic gravimeters were carried out in tall buildings on a floor‐to‐floor basis in New York City and on the Armstrong Tower, Alpine, New Jersey. Corrections for the instrumental drift and tidal gravity variation and for the Bouguer effect, topography, mass of the buildings, and subway and basement excavations have been applied to the gravity data, which are tied to the absolute gravity value of the National Gravity Base Station of Washington, D. C. The observed gravity versus elevation curves are nonlinear, particularly near the surface of the ground; the slope of the observed gravity anomaly versus elevation curves reverses sign at an elevation of about 170 ft for the campus buildings and about 350 ft for the downtown buildings, and is nearly linear without a reversal for the Armstrong Tower. The vertical gradients vary substantially even within short distances. Comparisons of the corrected observed gradients with the theoretical gradients of gravity are made. The anomalous gradient anomalies are positive and are correlated with the positive isostatic surface gravity anomalies. Calibration of gravimeters against the observed vertical gradient of gravity to an accuracy of ±2 μgal is definitely feasible provided the gradient is predetermined to a comparable accuracy by a standard instrument.

Second Peak

The five boroughs of New York City (NYC) were early epicenters of the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States, with over 380,000 cases by May 31. High caseloads were also seen in nearby counties in New Jersey (NJ), Connecticut (CT) and New York (NY). The pandemic started in the area in March with an exponential rise in the number of daily cases, peaked in early April, briefly declined, and then, showed clear signs of a second peak in several counties. We will show that despite control measures such as lockdown and restriction of movement during the exponential rise in daily cases, there was a significant net migration of households from NYC boroughs to the neighboring counties in NJ, CT and NY State. We propose that the second peak in daily cases in these counties around NYC was due, in part, to the movement of people from NYC boroughs to these counties. We estimate the movement of people using "Change of Address" (CoA) data from the US Postal Service, provided under the "Freedom of Information Act" of 1967. To identify the timing of the second peak and the number of cases in it, we use a previously proposed SIR model, which accurately describes the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic in European countries. Subtracting the model fits from the data identified, we establish the timing and the number of cases, NCS, in the second peak. We then related the number of cases in the second peak to the county population density, P, and the excess Change of Address, ECoA, into each county using the simple model N_CS~P^α E_CoA^β which fits the data very well with α = 0.68, β = 0.31 (R^2 = 0.74, p = 1.3e-8). We also find that the time between the first and second peaks was proportional to the distance of the county seat from NY Penn Station, suggesting that this migration of households and disease was a directed flow and not a diffusion process. Our analysis provides a simple method to use change of address data to track the spread of an infectious agent, such as SARS-Cov-2, due to migrations away from epicenters during the initial stages of a pandemic.
