Abstract
The report considers a brief history and the most important results of the Department of Remote Methods of Research of the Marine Hydrophysical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Information is given about the founder of the institute, Academician V. V. Shuleikin (1895–1979), the director of the institute in 1974–1985 and the founder of the direction “satellite hydrophysics”, Academician B. A. Nelepo (1932–2007). For the first time, the information about one of the founders of the radiophysical methods of remote sensing of the ocean, a representative of the Kharkov scientific school V. V. Pustovoytenko (1946–2015), who worked in Sevastopol for the last forty years of his life and devoted scientific work to the development of satellite hydrophysics, was first introduced into scientific circulation. The general characteristic of the Institute’s work in the field of satellite oceanology is given, and the most significant results associated with the operation of the Kosmos-1500 spacecraft, as well as the specifics of the TPO-05 program and the Veyer-6 project, are considered.
Highlights
Federal Research Center “Marine Hydrophysical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences” (MGI) is one of the leading oceanological centers in the world
In Moscow in 1948, the Marine Hydrophysical Institute (MGI) of the USSR Academy of Sciences was established on the basis of the Black Sea Hydrophysical Station of the USSR Academy of Sciences and the Marine Hydrophysical Laboratory
The founder of a new domestic direction in geophysics – sea physics. His name was associated with important scientific achievements of the Marine Hydrophysical Institute, such as studies of thermal phenomena in the ocean, the thermal interaction between the ocean, atmosphere and continents, as well as the influence of the ocean on climate and weather
Summary
Federal Research Center “Marine Hydrophysical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences” (MGI) is one of the leading oceanological centers in the world. It consists of 15 research departments, the work of one of which – the Department of distance research methods – is the subject of this article. The material in this article is based on the information contained in the monograph [1] published for the 80th anniversary of the MGI, as well as in the monograph [2] published later
