State Hydrological Institute

State Hydrological Institute is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand State Hydrological Institute rather than just read about it. In short: The State Hydrological Institute (SHI; Russian: Государственный гидрологический институт, ГГИ) is a research institute of Russia in the field of developing methods for locating hydrological networks and river hydrometry, creating modern models and methods for accelerated measurements of water discharge, runoff accounting at hydroelectric power plants and other hydrology structures.

Key takeaways

State Hydrological Institute belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect State Hydrological Institute to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of State Hydrological Institute from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The State Hydrological Institute (SHI; Russian: Государственный гидрологический институт, ГГИ) is a research institute of Russia in the field of developing methods for locating hydrological networks and river hydrometry, creating modern models and methods for accelerated measurements of water discharge, runoff accounting at hydroelectric power plants and other hydrology structures. SHI is created under the initiative of the Russian Academy of Sciences in October 1919. The institute cooperates with international organizations such as UNESCO and the World Meteorological Organization.

Structure SHI has about 350 employees. The research staff includes about 60 doctors. The institute currently includes such departments as:

Department of Valday for hydrometeorological experimental research Major experimental laboratory in a town Ilichovo Department of runoff calculation and water management problems Department of channel processes Department of metrology and standardization Department of hydrophysics Department of researching of hydroecology Department of water resources and water balance Department of scientific-technical information Department of flooding research Department of climate change research Department of remote sensing methods and geoinformation systems Department of river network Department of water cadastre

Notable staff Vladimir Wiese (1886–1954), a Russian and Soviet oceanographer and explorer of the Arctic Mikhail Budyko (1920–2001), a Soviet and Russian climatologist Valeryan Uryvaev (1908–1968), a Soviet hydrologist and director of the institute from 1942 to 1968 Igor Shiklomanov (1939–2010), a Soviet and Russian hydrologist and director of the institute from 1981 to 2010 Oleg Anisimov (1957–), a Russian climate scientist

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with State Hydrological Institute

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what State Hydrological Institute 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 State Hydrological Institute 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 State Hydrological Institute 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 State Hydrological Institute

In research: State Hydrological Institute 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 State Hydrological Institute 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: State Hydrological Institute is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1919 establishments in Russia, Hydrology organizations, Meteorology in the Soviet Union, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for State Hydrological Institute 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.
