Izvestiya, Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics volume 58, pages 111–120 (2022)Cite this article

Abstract

The contribution of Igor’ Leonidovich Karol’ to world and national science is described. Three stages of his scientific research are identified: (1) modeling of the dynamics of the atmosphere, (2) modeling of chemical and radiation processes in the atmosphere, and (3) modeling of modern climate changes. Attention is paid to the pedagogical work of Karol’ and his contribution to the popularization of science.
