Reference excerpt

Russian State Hydrometeorological University (RSHU) (Russian: Российский государственный гидрометеорологический университет) is a coeducational and public research university located in St. Petersburg, Russia. It was founded on July 23, 1930. For all the time RSHU have trained more than 20,000 professionals, with more than 3,000 for foreign countries. Current rector is acting Valeriy Mikheev due to the death of the previous rector Lev Karlin.

History Russian State Hydrometeorological University was established on July 23, 1930, on the basis of Geophysical Department of the Faculty of Physics of the MSU as Moscow Hydrometeorological Institute. After World War II the university was transferred to Leningrad and renamed as Leningrad Hydrometeorological Institute (LHI). The institute became the world's first institution of higher education with hydrometeorological profile. In 1992, it was renamed the Russian State Hydrometeorological Institute (RSHI). In 1998, it was renamed as Russian State Hydrometeorological University (current name).

Faculties RSHU consists of 8 faculties:

Meteorological Faculty Hydrological Faculty Oceanological Faculty Ecological Faculty Information Systems and Geotechnologies Economics, Social Sciences and Humanities Philological National and Traditional Arts

University rating Center for Promotion of graduates conducted monitoring of university centers of youth employment in 2011. According to the results of this monitoring RSHU took 12th place among the universities of the Russian Federation, and the 3rd place among the universities of St. Petersburg. According to the rating of public universities in Russia in 2010 RSHU ranked 141 out of 1,527 Russian universities in the overall rankings, 23 out of 94 universities of St. Petersburg.

International collaboration The university is a member of the University of the Arctic. UArctic is an international cooperative network based in the Circumpolar Arctic region, consisting of more than 200 universities, colleges, and other organizations with an interest in promoting education and research in the Arctic region. The collaboration has been paused after the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2022.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Russian State Hydrometeorological University

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Russian State Hydrometeorological University claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, 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 Russian State Hydrometeorological University 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 Russian State Hydrometeorological University 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 Russian State Hydrometeorological University

In research: Russian State Hydrometeorological University appears in astronomy 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 Russian State Hydrometeorological University 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: Russian State Hydrometeorological University is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1930 establishments in the Soviet Union, Meteorology in the Soviet Union, Russian State Hydrometeorological University, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Russian State Hydrometeorological University 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.
