While researching <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> oceanographic methods and equipment, <strong>the</strong><br />

institute is also active in <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> manned and unmanned submersibles. Since<br />

1979, Monin has been Chief <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Hydrophysics Labora<strong>to</strong>ry <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> as well as Chief<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Physics Division. His research is in atmospheric physics, general turbulence,<br />

and dynamic processes in <strong>the</strong> ocean and atmosphere. (GSE 16, p. 516.)<br />

Ozmidov, Rostislav V., D. PM. S. Corresponding member <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Oceanology,<br />

Atmospheric Physics, and Geography Department <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> in 1993. Since<br />

1970, he has headed <strong>the</strong> Marine Turbulence Department <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> P. P. Shirshov<br />

Since 1977, he has been Direc<strong>to</strong>r <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Water Problems Institute in Moscow which<br />

is subordinate <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> academy's Oceanology, Atmospheric Physics, and Geography<br />

department and which does research on terminal lakes and river diversion projects.<br />

Zherebtsov, Gelii A., D. PM. S. Born in 1938. Atmospheric Physicist. Specialist in<br />

atmospheric physics, solar-terrestrial radiation physics. Corresponding member <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> Oceanology, Atmospheric Physics, and Geography Department <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academy</strong><br />

since 1990. Author <strong>of</strong> eight scientific works and co-author <strong>of</strong> 130. Direc<strong>to</strong>r <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere, and Radio Wave Propagation Institute in<br />

Irkutsk. He was on <strong>the</strong> Scientific Council on widespread radiation and “Sun--Earth”<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> AN SSSR; Head <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Scientific Council on Cosmic-physical Research <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Siberian Department <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> academy, and on <strong>the</strong> Coordinating Committee <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Ministry <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Radio Industry <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Soviet Union. In 1990, <strong>the</strong> Siberian<br />

Department <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Russian</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sciences</strong> established <strong>the</strong> Siberian Center <strong>of</strong><br />

Solar-Terrestrial Physics in Siberia--a new international research center that<br />

combined <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> scientists in two major institutes: <strong>the</strong> Terrestrial Magnetism,<br />

Ionosphere and Radio Wave Propagation Institute in Irkutsk and <strong>the</strong> Institute <strong>of</strong><br />

Cosmophysical Research and Aeronomy in Yakutsk in <strong>the</strong> establishment <strong>of</strong> this new<br />

international thrust. As Direc<strong>to</strong>r <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Siberian Institute <strong>of</strong> Terrestrial Magnetism,<br />

Ionosphere and Radio Wave Propagation, Dr. Zherebetsov will play a large role in<br />

<strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> this new international research center.<br />

Organization <strong>of</strong> Leading Institutes:<br />

❖❖❖<br />

The Oceanology Institute in Moscow far outstrips <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs in numbers <strong>of</strong> scientists<br />

assigned <strong>to</strong> it. It is organized in<strong>to</strong> five divisions, 30 labora<strong>to</strong>ries, and 25<br />

Departments--a very complex structure. It also has a special Design Bureau. Its<br />

divisions are: Biology, Geochemistry, Geophysics, Physics, and <strong>the</strong> Technical<br />

Divisions. The Biology Division has six labora<strong>to</strong>ries; <strong>the</strong> Geochemistry Division has<br />

six labora<strong>to</strong>ries; <strong>the</strong> Geophysics Division has six labora<strong>to</strong>ries; <strong>the</strong> Physics Division<br />
