Achievements Of Science Geophysics

The present collection of "Achievements in Science” in geophysics comprises reviews on physical, dynamical and synoptical meteorology, climatology, physics of the earth and prospective geophysics. The reviews are prepared according to the materials published in the “Referativnyi Zhurnal Geofizika” in 1962. In individual cases use was also made of abstracts published in the preceding 1—2 years and in the first half of 1963. The review authors set themselves the task of helping the readers of “Referativnyi Zhurnal” to acquire a better grasp of the huge flow of published scientific information and single out the most important scientific results and the greater practical achievements. All the bibliographies in the reviews are given in the form of references to the numbers of the respective abstracts, published in the "Referativnyi Zhurnal Geofizika," In future it is proposed to issue annually similar collections of reviews of “Achievements in Science" in geophysics according to the materials published in the "Referativnyi Zhurnal Geofizika" inthe preceding year. The subjects of the reviews are determined by the editor of the “Referativnyi Zhumal.” FROM THE EDITORIAL BOARD . A. Kh. Khrgian. PHYSICAL METEOROLOGY . . . . A. S. Monin.
