piled by the USSR Ministry of Defense
and the Navy, may boldly be called
an epochal cartographic work. It
was developed by a collective of
numerous authors, involving the
collaboration of many scientific
and scientific-technical institu-
tions and agencies under the direc-
tion and with the direct participa-
tion of admirals S. Gorshkov, V.
Alekseyev and A. Rassokho, Captain
1st Rank V. Fadeyev, corresponding
member of the USSR Academy of Sci-

The systematic mapping of the
oceans that culminated in the two-
volume "Atlas of the Oceans" has
revealed for science a multitude of
previously unknown laws governing
the spatial relationships that are
constantly taking form in the world's
oceans in connection with the unique
processes that are occurring through
the interplay of,,energyo, matter and
information in four subsystems --
lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere
and biosphere, and also within each
of them.' Chapters of the atlas are
correspondingly devoted to these
subsystems.
The publication of the "Atlas of
the Oceans" represents an important
event in the life of science. Here
the method of scientific modeling
presents extensive opportunities to
a broad circle of scientists to draw

Branch (SO) is located high in the
Eastern Sayan Mountains. Scientists
have installed highly complex equip-
ment and built a small city for the
high-altitude solar expedition's
work and life among craggy peaks
and snowy summits.
The sun is observed closely through
the lenses of large non-eclipse
coronagraphs; the mirrors of hori-
zontal solar telescopes turn in
obedience to commands. The eleva-
tion is 2000 meters: Not many
similar observatories are to be
found in the country. The Siberian
scientists are pursuing work for the
study of solar physics here. A par-
ticularly large amount of work is now
being done in accordance with the in-
ternational program "Solar Maximum
Year".
The study of the sun and processes
connected with changes in its activity
will help to predict the behavior of
our star in advance. And data ob-
tained at the observatory are now
being used for more than just basic
research.
