Abstract
The scientific interests of Kirill Kondratyev, an outstanding Soviet and Russian scientist-geophysicist, academician of the Academy of Science of the USSR and the Russian Academy of Science, and honorary member of many authoritative international scientific institutes and organizations (see Chapter 1), were very wide and various. His research included work on satellite meteorology, atmospheric optics. actinometry, and problems of climate change and global ecology. During the last two decades of his life he concentrated on global problems of the the environment (global change) and on the interactions in the system nature-society (Demirchian et al., 2006: Kondratyev, 1998, Kondratyev, 2001, Kondratyev, 2003a; Kondratyev and Cracknell, 1999; Kondratyev and Galindo, 1997; Kondratyev and Varotsos, 2000). We have seen in Chapter 2 that Kondratyev was very concerned about the need for good observational data when discussing climate change in recent decades and, especially, when attempting to make predictions about future trends in our climate. He wrote (Kondratyev, 2003b): “ ... measurements data (for the present they are inadequate from the point of view of their completeness and reliability) do not contain the exact existence of anthropogenic caused confirmation of ‘global warming’ at all (especially it concerns the ground-based observations in the USA, in Arctic regions) ...” Among the observational data that are important is the near-surface air temperature (Kondratyev, 2004).
