  The Inst­itute occu­pies a leading role in the scie­nti­fic asse­ssm­ent, anal­ysis of prob­lems, and deve­lopm­ent of reco­mmen­dati­ons for inte­rgov­ernm­ental agre­eme­nts on issues of global climate change, the Kyoto Prot­ocol, the Paris Agre­ement, and the deve­lopm­ent of the Arctic and Anta­rctic. Staff of the Inst­itute part­icip­ate in the prep­arat­ion of inte­rnat­ional reports on prob­lems of climate change and sust­aina­ble deve­lopm­ent as experts, lead authors, and revi­ewers, incl­uding in the prep­arat­ion of reports for the Inte­rgov­ernm­ental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the UN Comm­iss­ion on Sust­aina­ble Deve­lopm­ent.

The primary obje­ctive of the A. M. Obukhov Inst­itute of Atmo­sphe­ric Physics of the Russian Academy of Scie­nces, a Federal State Budg­etary Inst­itut­ion of Science, is the exec­ution of fund­amen­tal scie­nti­fic rese­arch and applied deve­lopm­ents in the field of atmo­sphe­ric physics.

Main scie­nti­fic rese­arch dire­cti­ons:

• Diag­nosis and mode­ling of climate; para­mete­riza­tion of climate-forming proc­esses; inve­stig­ation of the inte­ract­ion of clou­din­ess, aerosol, and radi­ation; study of the inte­ract­ion of the atmo­sph­ere with the unde­rly­ing surface; study of regi­onal climate changes.

• Moni­tor­ing and inve­stig­ation of the gaseous and aerosol comp­osit­ion of the atmo­sph­ere; fore­cast of poss­ible cons­eque­nces of changes in atmo­sphe­ric comp­osit­ion for the envi­ronm­ent and the Earth's climate.

• Inve­stig­ation of the dyna­mics of ecol­ogi­cal systems and proc­esses under cond­iti­ons of a chan­ging climate.

• Inve­stig­ation of atmo­sphe­ric turb­ule­nce and proc­esses of impu­rity tran­sport in the atmo­sphe­ric boun­dary layer; geop­hysi­cal fluid dyna­mics.

• Study of the dynamic and stat­isti­cal char­acte­rist­ics of vortex and wave motions in the atmo­sph­ere; acou­stic and inte­rnal gravity waves.

• Sate­llite soun­ding of the atmo­sph­ere.

• Moni­tor­ing of temp­oral and spatial changes in the state of the upper atmo­sph­ere.
