Preface
A variety of technologies are being used to study atmospheric and oceanic processes, including weather stations and rockets and obsernal ships and aircraft. They are not always effective enough, however, to permit a detailed investigation into nonstationary (dynamic) phenomena in the atmosphere and ocean, whose time of origin is impossible to predict.
Key examples of these unpredictable occurs are tropical and extra-tropical cyclones, pollution of the ocean and atmosphere caused by man's activit.ies, volcanic discharges into the atmosphere, dust storms, and unusual (nonstandard) c loud formations.
This book instances the study of tropical cyclones to giv{.\ a popu lar account of one of possible methods for contact sounding of atmospheric and ocean parameters. Based on unmanned probes descending from the satellite orbit, this method allows one to widen essentially the possibilities for the study of the Earth's atmosphere and ocean. Further- more, it can conceivably be utilized to explore nonstationary processes in the atmospheres of
other planets of the Solar System-Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn...
