include wind velocity in the lower layers of the atmosphere, physics of 
clouds and precipitation, distribution of radioactive aerosols in the free 
atmosphere, and interpretation of magnetic anomalies. A device was 
developed to function automatically on a 24-hour basis to measure 
radioactivity in the air. Research papers are periodically published by the 
Institute in a Nauchnyye Soobshcheniya.

Description: 
After the Institute was established in 1958 as an experimental 
facility with living quarters for 1,000 persons, 28 expeditionary crews 
were formed to perform scientific and exploratory work. The Institute has 
conducted basic geological work related to the discovery and development 
of Siberia's mineral wealth. Recent studies have been directed toward the 
development of a modern theory of the origin of mineral and ore deposits. 
Some current geophysical studies at the Institute are directed toward the 
determination of the depth of the upper surfaces of magnetized ore bodies 
within the earth's crust.
