participated in 15 coastal expeditions. These expeditions included underwater scuba
diving in shallow waters, work on zodiacs and other small boats, work on ice,
driving snow mobiles, research near glaciers descending to the fjords.
The following items are worth highlighting: 1969–1972: the western boundary
currents in the Atlantic, 1973–1974: the subsurface equatorial undercurrent in the
Indian Ocean, 1974: his first expedition to the Pacific Ocean, 1975: his first polar
research in the Norwegian Sea and 1976: research of deep brines in the depressions
of the Red Sea. During 1977–1978 he participated in two expeditions of the joint
USSR-USA POLYMODE Experiment. He was a member of the
USSR POLYMODE delegation to the USA in 1977 and 1978. In 1981: voyage to
the typhoon region of the Pacific Ocean, 1982–1983: expedition in the Southern
Ocean south of New Zealand, close to the Antarctic continent, 1985: the Soviet
large-scale oceanographic program Mesopolygon (mesoscale eddy investigation
experiment), in which 76 moorings were deployed simultaneously in the Atlantic,
1986: voyage through the East Pacific. In 1987 he was with the greatest Soviet
oceanographic field experiment named Megapolygon (large scale study of the eddy
field) with synchronous deploying of 173 moorings in the Northwest Pacific. In
1989 the exploration of the Gulf Stream rings with participation in the research on
long-distance sound propagation in the deep acoustic waveguide in the Atlantic. In
1990 observation of the atmosphere-ocean interaction in the region of the Great
Newfoundland Bank. In the 1990s, there was a break in field oceanography
activities due to the dramatic financial position of science in the former USSR.
Nevertheless, in 1995 he participated in the World Ocean Circulation Experiment
working with T. Joyce at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as an expert on
the WOCE data quality evaluation of the CTD data collected in the WOCE
expeditions. In 1999 the field oceanographic explorations of the Shirshov Institute
of Oceanology resumed and then he participated in a number of voyages repeating
some of the WOCE hydrographic sections in the Atlantic. In 2003 the Russian
scientists resumed their oceanographic explorations in the Drake Passage. Since
that time Dr. Morozov was the chief scientist in two oceanographic research studies
