Reference excerpt

The Hydrometeorological Centre of Russia (Russian: Гидрометцентр России, Gidrometcentr Rossii) is the national meteorological service in Russia, part of the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring.

History It was founded in June 1921 as the Meteorological Service of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. In 1929 it joined the Hydrometeorological Centre of the USSR. In accordance with Government Decree on the establishment of a single hydrometeorological service of January 1, 1930 was organized by the Central Weather Bureau, converted in 1936 into the Central Weather Institute (since 1943 - Central Institute of Forecasting). In September 1935, the journal "Meteorology and Hydrology" began publication. The creation of the world's first drifting ice station "North Pole" (1937-1938) was of great importance for the further development of the meteorological service. During the Axis military invasion, some meteorological facilities in the western regions of the USSR were destroyed, but they were restored after the end of the Great Patriotic War. In the mid-1950s, the first Soviet stations were established in Antarctica. After the creation of the World Weather Information Service in 1963, the Soviet Meteorological Service became one of three world meteorological centers in the World Weather Information Service system. In 1965, the Central Institute of forecasts and the Joint Centre of the Academy of Sciences and the Main Directorate of Hydrometeorological Service were merged into one institution: Hydrometeorological Research Center of the USSR. In 1967, this organization was awarded the Order of Lenin. In the late 1960s, the Soviet space meteorological system began to function. From 1992 it is called Hydrometeorological Centre of Russia. An important event, largely determined the fate of research at the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia, was giving it the Government Decree №1167 of October 14, 1994 the status of the State Scientific Center of Russian Federation. In January 2007, by decision of the Government of Russia, this status has been saved.

Duties and functions In the system of the World Weather Watch of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Hydrometeorological Centre of Russia provides the fulfillment of international obligations of the Russian Federation on the international exchange of information and data forecasting meteorological observations, and functions as:

World Meteorological Centre (WMC-Moscow); Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre in the European region; National Centre for weather forecasts. The main tasks of Russian Hydrometeorological Center are:

Obtaining new knowledge about the processes of weather in the system "atmosphere-ocean-land". Operational support of the country, state and economic structures of hydro-meteorological information, including warnings of adverse weather and dangerous phenomena.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Hydrometeorological Centre of Russia

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Hydrometeorological Centre of Russia claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Hydrometeorological Centre of Russia before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Hydrometeorological Centre of Russia ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Hydrometeorological Centre of Russia

In research: Hydrometeorological Centre of Russia appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Hydrometeorological Centre of Russia in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Hydrometeorological Centre of Russia is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Governmental meteorological agencies in Russia, Meteorological research institutes, Meteorology in the Soviet Union, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Hydrometeorological Centre of Russia outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
