I would like to have a job in the field of numerical modelling of
the  3-dimensional ocean baroclinic  circulation.   I can suggest
an ocean general circulation model with free surface.

EDUCATION
1984:  Master's   Degree   in  Physical    Oceanography.  Leningrad
Hydrometeorological   In-t.  Thesis:  "Computation of the  vertical
turbulent exchange coefficients"
1992:  Master's  Degree in Mathematics.  St. Petersburg State  Univ.
Thesis:  "Mathematical   aspects  of numerical  realization  of the
3-dimensional ocean model"
1990:  Ph.D in Physical  Oceanography.  Arctic & Antarctic Research
Institute. St.Petersburg. Russia.  Thesis:  "Mechanisms  of  surges
forming in polar seas".
SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS
Investigation  of three-dimensional non-stationary circulation of
the  World ocean (or its parts) by the ocean general  circulation
model  with free surface; estimation of the heat, salt,  momentum
and  energy  exchange between shelf and deep ocean in the  annual
variations of the ocean characteristics.
To solve these problems:
a.  The improvement of the three-dimensional non-stationary model
developed  by  the  author to make more accurate the  parameteri-
zation of the vertical turbulent exchange;
b.   The  adaptation of the model to the World ocean  relief  and
simulation  of  the  baroclinic ocean tides,  baroclinic  general
ocean circulation with atmospheric forcing.
SCIENTIFIC EXPERIENCE
1992-1990:   Senior  scientist,   oceanographer,   "Arctic-Shelf"
laboratory  of the Arctic & Antarctic Research Intsitute  (AARI).
Projects:"Development  of the mathematical modeling of the arctic
seas  shelf  processes",  "Development of the  forecasts  methods
three-dimensional  baroclinic  circulation of the Arctic  ocean".
Within   the  framework  of   the  projects  a  three-dimensional
non-stationary  baroclinic  model of the free surface  ocean  was
developed.   The model is based on the primitive motion, heat and
salt equations, hydrostatics, continuity and state equations.  To
increase  the  computational  time  step  the  splitting  of  the
horizontal  velocities  on  baroclinic and  barotropic  modes  is
carried   out.   To  calculate   the  baroclinic  components  the
primitive  motion  equations are used; the barotropic  components
are  the result of the shallow water equations integration.   The
correct  approximation  of  the  heat and  salt  advective  terms
differs   the  model  from  analogous   ones.   It  achieves   by
application  of  special  algorithm supplying  the  monotony  and
conservative   property   with  high   order  accuracy   of   the
approximation.   The variable vertical diffusion coefficients for
temperature,  salinity and velocity are used.  The model was used
in  the  tests  within  the  framework  of  the  Soviet-Norwegian
Numerical  Experiment, to simulate three-dimensional structure of
tides  and surges in the shallows of the Baidara Bay of the  Kara
Sea  (the  depth in some points was 1 m) and baroclinic tides  in
the Barents Sea and in the Arctic ocean.  The last experiment has
shown  very  interesting  results:   the  relatively   short-term
barotropic  forcing can cause a large-scale reconstruction of the
oceanic  fields  with  formation of stable  structures.   It  has
become possible to explain the nature of the mean features of the
Arctic ocean general circulation.
1988-1990:  Jounior  scientist.  The department of oceanology  of
the   AARI.   Projects:  "Investigation  of  polar  seas   surges
generation  mechanisms"  (this  project was finished by  the  PhD
dissertation), "Investigation of the tides in the Arctic ocean".
1984-1988: Engineer. The same department of the AARI and the same
projects.
