New article name goes here Nina A. Zaitseva, Dr.Sc., was born in August 1940 in Moscow (Soviet Union). In 1962, she graduated from the Lomonosov Moscow State University as a geographer-climatologist. A citizen of Russia, she is now one of the leading Russian scientists in the field of atmospheric physics, radiation processes, and upper-air techniques. For about thirty years she dealt with radiometersonde observations, which were organized on a special radiometersounding network throughout the territory of USSR, on weather ships, and in Antarctica. Her PhD (1971) and DSc. (2004) theses were devoted to study of spatial and temporal variability of terrestrial (long-wave) radiation in the free atmosphere based on the radiometer sounding method. She was an active participant of a number of large international experiments in the framework of the Global Atmosphere Research Program, and twice participated in Soviet Antarctic Expeditions. During 1976-1984, Nina Zaitseva was twice elected a member of the IAMAP (International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics) Radiation Commission. She participated with reports in several quadrennial International Radiation Symposia, and is very experienced in international co-operation. She is the author of over 100 published works, including a textbook on aerology and an English-Russian Dictionary of Meteorology (co-author).

From 1962 to 1997, she served as junior, then senior scientist and secretary in the Central Aerological Observatory of the Russian Federal Service of Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring. Since 1997, she has been leading scientist of the Department of Earth Sciences in Presidium of Russian Academy of Sciences.new article content ...
