were in their 90s and one in his 80s in 1991. The average age of the remaining 15
corresponding members was 64 and the youngest member was 52. The relative
youthfulness of these scientists suggests the relative late arrival of two of the
sciences collected together in this Department: atmospheric physics and oceanology.
Six different institutions produced eight of the corresponding members whose
institutions of graduation are known. These include: the Middle Asian University in
Tashkent, two; the Moscow Geological Prospecting Institute, two, and one each
from the Ashkhabad Pedagogical Institute, the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute, the
University of Irkutsk, and the Moscow State University.

Academician-- Secretary
Academician Vladimir Ev. Zuiev, tel.938-14-63
Zuev, Vladimir E., D. PM. S. Born in 1927 in Malye Goly, Kachug Raion, Irkutsk
Oblast. Russian physicist. Specialist in the fields of the dispersion of
electromagnetic and optical wave bands in the atmosphere. He has been a
corresponding member, 1970, and an academician since 1989--of the Oceanology,
Atmospheric Physics, and Geography Department. He was originally elected to the
General Physics and Astronomy Department. He joined the Presidium of the
Siberian Department in 1971. Since 1979, he has been chairman of the Presidium
of the Tomsk Scientific Center, and he is chairman of the Council for Research
Coordination of the Tomsk Oblast Committee. He has authored 69 scientific works
of which nine are monographs of importance; co-authored 238 works of which ten
are significant monographs and eight are discoveries. He graduated from the
University of Tomsk in 1951 and immediately began teaching there. From 1955 to
1969, he worked in the Siberian Physicotechnical Institute, becoming a professor in
1964. Since 1969, he has been director of the Atmospheric Optics Institute in
Tomsk and a member of the Siberian Department Presidium. The Atmospheric
Optics Institute was established in 1969 to study spectroscopy, the laser probing of
the atmosphere, lasers, and other electrooptical devices. His main work is in atmospheric
optics and physics. He has guided the academic work of 23 doctoral
candidates and 67 aspirants for the candidate degree. He was a deputy to the 8th
Convocation of the Supreme Soviet of the U.S.S.R. He received a State Prize for
his scientific work in 1985. He is the recipient of a number of other awards and
medals. He is presently the Academician Secretary of the Department of Ocean
Research, Atmospheric Physics and Geography of the Russian Academy of
Sciences. (GSE 9, p. 696.)
Deputies of the Academician-- Secretary:
Academician Georgii S. Golitsin, tel.231-55-65
Golitsin, Georgii S., D. PM. S. Born in 1935. Russian physicist. Corresponding
member, 1979; academician since 1987 of the Oceanology, Atmospheric Physics
and Geography Department. In 1976, he was Chief of the Climatology laboratory
of the Physics of the Atmospheric Physics Institute in Moscow that was established
in 1956 and that uses modern physical mathematical means to probe the atmosphere
from earth and space by optical and radiophysical methods. He was elected to the
Presidium of the academy in June 1988. He has headed the Climate Theory
Department of the Atmospheric Physics Institute which has four laboratories: the
climate theory laboratory, the upper atmosphere physics labortory, the atmosphere-
