We are engaged in exploratory and targeted research of the atmosphere in its entire vertical range. Scientific activities are developed mainly in the directions of boundary layer atmospheric physics, mesosynoptic and applied meteorology, climatology, aeronomy, upper atmosphere physics and ionospheric and magnetospheric physics.
