OBUKHOV, ALEKSANDR MIKHAILOVICH (Geophysicist) 



A. M. Obukhov was born May 5, 1918. After having gradu- 

 ated from Moscow University in 1940, he worked at the Geo- 

 physical Institute of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. He holds 

 a doctorate in physical-mathematical sciences. In 1956, he 

 became director of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences Institute 

 of Atmospheric Physics. In 1953, he became a Corresponding 

 Member of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. 



Obukhov has been concerned with the statistical theory of 

 turbulence and its application in meteorology. Together with 

 A. N. Kolmogorov, he developed a theory of the local structure 

 of turbulence. He also experimentally investigated atmospheric 

 turbulence and worked in dynamic meteorology and the theory 

 of probability. 



As of 1961, Obukhov was Chairman of the Commission on 

 Physics of Atmosphere.
