SHULEIKIN, VASILII VLADIMIROVICH (Geophysicist) 



V. V. Shuleikin was born January 13, 1895. He initiated the 

 organization of the Black Sea Hydrophysical Station in the 

 Crimea in 1929, a marine hydrophysical laboratory in 1935, a 

 Department of Marine Physics at Moscow University in 1945, and 

 a sea laboratory of the Moscow Hydrometeorological Institute 

 in 1930. Shuleikin became a member of the Communist Party 

 of the Soviet Union in 1942. In 1929 he was elected a Corre- 

 sponding Member and in 1946 an Academician of the U.S.S.R. 

 Academy of Sciences. The All- Union Geographic Society award- 

 ed him a medal of P.P. Semyonov-Tyan-Shanskii. And in 1942 

 he received a Stalin Prize. 



Shuleikin' s investigations are devoted to the physics of the 

 sea. He presented a theory on the heat balance of the sea, thus 

 allowing prediction of the presence of a deep warm current in 

 the Karsk Sea. He proposed a theory on heat interaction be- 

 tween the ocean, atmosphere, and land, and investigated 

 the oscillating phenomena in this system and the increase in 

 wind speeds against sharp-edged capes. On the basis of new 

 experimental data, he advanced a theory on sea waves. He ex- 

 plained the origin of sea and lake coloring. He obtained an 

 equation of a spectral curve of the sea and worked on other as- 

 pects of sea optics. He invented a series of devices for in- 

 vestigating the sea. He participated in several oceanic and sea 

 expeditions and was the head of a number of them.
