BLINOVA, EKATERINA NIKITICHNA (Dynamic Meteorologist) 



E. N. Blinova was born December 7, 1906. She graduated 

 from North Caucasus University (Rostov -on-the -Don). In 1935 

 to 1945, she was senior scientific research associate at the 

 Main Geophysical Observatory. In 1943 she began working at 

 the Central Institute of Weather Forecasting in Moscow. Since 

 1953 she has been a Corresponding Member of the U.S.S.R. 

 Academy of Sciences. 



Continuing the work of N. E. Kochin (1901-1944, mathema- 

 tician), Blinova investigated in detail the conditions of atmos- 

 pheric front stability (1936). Later, from 1938, she studied the 

 general circulation of the atmosphere and developed a theory of 

 radiative equilibrium in the atmosphere. She was successful in 

 making a quantitative explanation of the existence of the so- 

 called centers of atmospheric action. For this, she studied 

 wave disturbances occurring in the general east-west atmos- 

 pheric flow. She utilized the same wave method for a quanti- 

 tative analysis of such atmospheric macroprocesses as the 

 origin and development of cyclines and anti-cyclones. Blinova 

 indicated in her works methods of long-term weather forecast- 

 ing by means of integration of the so-called vortex equations 

 proposed by A. A. Fridman (1888-1925, physicist), which are 

 widely utilized at the present time for weather forecasting with 

 the aid of electronic computers and for solving other problems 

 in atmospheric dynamics.
