Fifty Years of Collaboration with Evgeny
Georgievich Morozov
Boris N. Filyushkin
I met Eugene for the first time in the summer of 1967. He was a student of the
Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology on a marine practice in the Black Sea
(Gelendzhik). We were conducting an experiment on the spatiotemporal variability
of internal waves over the shelf of Blue Bay and in the open sea. Three moorings
with temperature recorders were installed on the shelf. In 1970, he started his work at
the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology. The data collected in 1967 on the shelf became
the basis for his first publication together with his supervisor Yu. A. Ivanov.
It happened that the first acquaintance with internal waves during his marine
practice became his dominating activity for many future years. In 1975, he
defended his Ph.D. Thesis on internal waves. In 1985, he published a book on
internal waves, and in 1989, he defended his doctoral dissertation on internal
waves. In 1995, he published in the Deep-Sea Research Journal his well-known
paper “Semidiurnal internal wave global field”. In this research he used the
available data in many regions of the ocean and a model to show the main role of
submarine ridges in the generation of internal tides in the ocean. He studied the
internal tides in many geographical regions: the Gibraltar, Bab-el-Mandeb, and
Kara Gates straits. In 2008, he began his field studies of internal waves under ice in
the fjords of Spitsbergen.
The next stage of his scientific activity became the research of the bottom
currents in the Atlantic and propagation of Antarctic Bottom Water in the abyssal
channels of the Atlantic. This program started in 2002 and has been continuing until
present. A total of 18 expedition cruises to the North and South Atlantic has been
made since then within this program. The measurements were conducted in the
regions of the abyssal channels: the Vema Channel (31° S), Romanche Fracture
Zone (equator), Vema Fracture Zone (11° N), Kane Gap (9° N), and many others.
