lurgy is directed toward producing a high-purity chromium and investigating 
the alloys of the Mn-Cu-Co, Cr-Mn-N, and Cr-Fe systems.

Description: 
In 1956, the Geophysics Institute of the U.S.S.R. Academy of 
Seiences was reorganized into the Institute of the Physics of the Earth, 
the Institute of the Physics of the Atmosphere, and the Institute of 
Applied Geophysics. 
Recently published work by members of the Institute of Applied 
Geophysics has been in the fields of atmospheric electricity, artificial 
cloud dispersal, components of the upper atmosphere, ionization of the 
nocturnal ionosphere, forecasting pressure fields in the medium and upper 
troposphere, measurement of corpuscular radiation, and other investigations 
of the upper atmosphere by means of rockets and satellites. 
In 1961, a Department of the Institute of Applied Geophysics was 
established in the town of Obninsk, Kaluzhskaya oblast’.
