First All-Union Symposium on M.A.P.: Conclusion of report
Abstract
The MAP research in the Soviet Union has become very intensive and has already produced important results, especially in the areas of mesosphere and lower-thermosphere dynamics, D-layer theory, weather control, winter anomaly, and noctilucent clouds. Particularly interesting was the presentation by V. I. Drobzhev and associates on the reaction of the ionosphere to terrestrial eruption. Some topics were not adequately covered, however, among them the Soviet contribution to the study of ozone and other impurities in the stratosphere. Such studies were described by guest speakers from the United States (Prof. S. Bowhill, Dr. R. Megill, Prof. J. Taubenheim, all members of the International MAP Commission), who talked about the chemistry of small impurities as well as radiophysical methods of studying the hibernal variability of the D-layer.
