Stalin., Doai4_aa_aemii Nauk SSSR, Vol 112, No 5, 1957, PP 9M-904 Hydrogen sulfide is formed in the digestive tract from several sulfur. containing amino acids and rapidly absorbed into the blood stream. A num- ber of investigators have shown that the organism is freed of hydrogen sulfide by the following methods: release from the lungs in unchanged form, and oxidation in the blood with subsequent excretion of the trans- formed products in the urine. For a more detailed explanation of the above problems, the author set up experiments using Na2S35. In studying the distribution of s35 in the organs one hour after the administration of Na2s35, it was found that the reatest specific activity was in the kidneys and secondarily in the lungs.

Under the conditionu of Transcaucasia the problem of the forecast of thunderstorms is of great practical importance, thsre- fore special attention was paid to the lecture by_q~a~ -9. U. on the method of forecasting thunderstorms under the mountainous conditions of Transcaucasia and the lecture by Shishkin, N. S. (Main Geophysical Observatory) on the topic of the forecast of thunderstorm-processes according to the method of layers. Papinashvili, K. I., Napetvaridze, Ye. A. and Lominadze, V. P. dealt with the problems of the investigation and subdivision of the air- and turbulence-currents above Transcaucasia. Vorontsov, P.

U, SOV/50-58-10-1/20 TITLE: The Pas3ing Over of iviountain Rantges by Air Currents (Perev--vaniye vozdushnykh potokov cherez .-ornyye i.hrebty) PERIODICAL: bleteorologiya i gidrologiya, 1958, Nr 10, PP 3-6 (USSR) ABSTRACT: The atmospheric processes arising above the area of Transcaucasia are a result of superposition of mainly two kinds of disb=bances 1) One process is formed as a consequence of the thermally irregular basement area (pods tilayushchaya poverkhnost') owing to atmospheric processes; 2) the other one is due to unevenneso of the earth'a surface. The theory of I'lowing around hindrances by air currents (Refs 3-7) and further investigations (Refs 1,8,9) indicate the extraordinarily important role played by mountain ranges in the formation of local dijturbances and in the appearance of vertical components of the wind velocity. This facilitates the forwation and development of clouds, thunderstorm processes and causes pre- cipitations,. The question whether masses of air are able to pass the Transcaucasian mountain ranges if the masses possess a higher vertical extension than the hindrance itself, is most important to the attendant phenomena of the latter weather processes. According to various computations the author determined the current function Card 112 ~(xqy). The equationo for the determination of Y in the middle leval The Passing Over of Mountain Rantges by Air Currents 30 V/50- 558- 10- 1120 of the troposphere were solved for 40 places in the Caucasus region under consideration of the influence exerted by mountain ranges, For the calculations a high-speed computer of the Institut tochnoy mekhaniki i vychislitelliloy tekhniki AN SSSR (Institute of Fine Nechanics and Calculation Techniques of the AS USSR) was ased, On the basis of the calculated vallues of the function q for the casos u = 0 and v = 1 (the axis X lies along the mountain ran6e, the axis Y lies vertically) as well as for the casesu = I and v = 0 the lines of the current distribution on the middle level of the troposphere over the mountain regiono of the Caucasus were drawn (Figs 1,2)~ As may be seen from them the irregularities of the earth's surfat.-e form a disturbance field of the main current which is extended upwards up to 4 - 5 km. An important factor is here the passing over of the ranges by these distu:rbed ourrents according to conclusions drawn by former authors (Refs 3-6). These i2onclusions are confirmed by the occurrence of storm centers over the slopes of the Greater and Lesser Caucasus (Ref 2) and by :-onsiderable pre- cipitations in this area. 1. A. K-ibell gave valuable adv---ce and in- dications. S. L.

The Surariskiy and Arsianskiy Ranges, which stretch perpendicularly to the direction of moist air Clow from the West, have an especially great sianifioance. These ranjes divide Georgia into two separate climatic regions-western and eastern. The moisture-rich airmasses encroaching from the west bring abundant precipitation (from 1500 to 2500 mm per annum) to Western Georgda, principally on "he coast Card 1/6 S/169/0-1/000/010/026/053 Thunderstorm processeso., D228/D304 of the Black Sea. Reaching the Suramskiy and Arsianskiy Ranges, the airmass remains in their front part; in consequence..j precipitation on the slopes of the ranges. The crossing of the airmass over the ranE-P is often accomnanied by the front's erosion, the -raduil decrease of cloudiness, and the cessation of precipitation. Thus, airmasses arri-e in the eastern part of Tram-caucasia in a much less moist stnite~ The fLoi- mation in the cold front of wave disturbances, which, durin,3 t2leir de- veloDment over Transcaucasia?s territlorir, favor the stren-thpnin- of -02E~ vertical components of the And velocity, the enric',lininit of airmasse,5 by moisture, and the fall of precipitation, often tualzes place to the south of Transcaucasia.

D226/D304 areas, this type of thunderstorm activity increases to 60%. The small amount of intramass thundersto.-ms in coastal districts and in the Kolk-hid- skaya Lovilands is e)Tlained by local processes, which are strongly de- veloped, especially in summertime. The breezelike phenomena observed over coastal districts of Western Georgia and the Kolkhidskaya Lowlands do not favor the genesis and development of intr~masis thunderstorm pro- cesses. In Western Georgia, thunderstorms are observed in the winter months; the maxirnim value-of the mean-monthly number "of days with thunder- storms reaches 1o6 (Otradnoye, January). According to the measure of removal from the Black Sea, the number of days with thunderstorms in the winter months gradually decreases. In Eastern Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaydzhan, hardly any thunderstorms occur in the winter months. The sharp increase in the average number of days with thunderstorms is ob- served from April throughout the territory of Transcaucasia. In June, it attains its maximum value and then gradually decre,.ses over most of the territory of Armenia and Azerbaydzhan, reaching -. minimum value in November for the territory of Azerbaydzhan and in December for Armenia. Card 3/6 S/169/61/000/010/026/053 Thunderstorm processes... D228/D304 Over Georgia's territory, a certain decrease in the number of days with thunderstorms is noted in July in comparison with the previous month, together with an increase in August; this indicates the presence of two maxima for the number of days with thunderstorms in Georl-ia. For Trans- caucasia, the least number of days with thunderstorms is observed over the territory of Azerbaydzhan, particularly above the Kurinskaya Lowlands, which is due to the presence of dry steppes with an arid climate. The___-;~ Tiflis-Akstafa-Baku districts are characterized by an exceptionally small number of days with thunderstorms; this is observed especially in the Yevlakh-Baku areas. The author notes t,ie connection between the local relief and the yearly number ~f doys with thunderstorms. In Georgiat a comparatively small number of days with thunderstorms (chiefly from 25 to 35) is recorded above the Kolkhidskaya Lowlands and the Vnutrenne- Yaxtaiinskaya, Nizhne-Kartalinskaya, and Kakhotinskaya Plains. A consi- derable increase in the number of days with thunderstorms (from 30 -to 60 - 70) is observed in Georgia's mountainous districts and over almost the whole of Armenia's territory. It follows from the data of pilot- Card 4/6 S/169/61/000/010/0261/05-13 Thunderstorm processes... D228/D304 balloon observations over the Krestovyy Pass during May - August, 1949 - 1953, that in the mountainous regions the air-streams have a southerly and south-viesterly direction in the evening hours before a thunierstorm, The influence of the topography on the Olisturbance of air-streams aad on the appearance of vertical comj~onents of the wind velocity is More abruptly displayod in mountainous country than is tha case over the com.- paratively Vat localities of Tiflis and Yerevan. This coralusion is confirmed by the presence of foci of intramass thunderstorms albove moun- tainous areas. The author distinguished the local foci of thun0erstorm activity for Transcaucasia's territory. Knowing the time of thunderstorms in the focal areas and the routes of the movement, it is Fossible warr, certain national-economy oreanizations about the danger of land buildinGs beinr- struck by lightning. All cases of nearby thunderstorms observed Trom May to August of 1949 - 1953--from the moment- of formation to -their dying out--were studied to expose the routes follozed by thi-,nier- storms over Trans caucasia Is territory.

Special attention is paid to those problems which are of practical importance to the aviation and electr1c power industry in Tr%.ns- caucasia. The bo-ok is divided into three parts. The first part contains in- vestigation of the climatic characteristics of thunderstorms over Tr%as- caucasia. The second part attempts to formulate theoretical foundations to explain tbe -Influence of the Caucasus mountains on the formation of thunder- storm processes. The thini part presents the cha6mcteristics of the basic factors in thunderstorm formation and analyzes methods for forecasting thunderstorms under the local conditions of Transcaucasia. The problems treated in this b,,,,ok were presented by the author at, a scientific: meeting of the Tsentral"nyy in-stitut prognosov (Central Institute of Weatber Fore- casting)in the beginning of 196o. The book was consideree'. to be the first substantial contruLbu-tion to the research on thunderstorm processes under local conditions in T-ranscaucasla. The results of fuxther investigations will ap- pear in the works of the Thilisskiy nauchno-issledovatellskiy gidrometeorolo- ggicheskLy institat (Tbilisi Hydrometeorological Scientific Research Instituto).
