Sergei Sitnov, Senior Scientific Researcher, Ph.D

 

Graduated from Lomonosov Moscow State University, Physical Department.

M. Sci., 1980. Thesis: “Equipment and technique for investigation of total ozone short-term variations in the atmosphere”.

Ph. D., 1994. Thesis: “Investigation of intra-annual and quasi-biennial variability in the vertical ozone  distribution on the basis of ozone sounding data “.

 

Scientific interests: variability of atmospheric ozone, effects of the equatorial QBO, El-Nino and a 11-years cycle of solar activity in an atmosphere, large-scale dynamics of the atmosphere.
