Abstract

This article is devoted to the most topical trends in stratosphere-troposphere interaction and its influence on the climate of our planet. The authors find that the state of Russian research in this sphere does not match the level of advanced scientific powers. The integration of national research into international programs will allow Russia to overcome this lag.
