1929-1946 corresponding member, USSR Academy of Science. Advanced theory of thermal balance of the sea, leading to prediction of the presence of sub-surface thermal currents in the Kara Sea. Proposed theory of thermal interaction between ocean, atmosphere and continents and studied fluctuating effects in this system and increase of wind velocities against sharp capes.
Advanced a theory of sea waves. Demonstrated origin of sea and lake color. Deduced spectral curve equation and other equations on sea color.
Developed instruments for oceanography. Participated in ocean and sea expeditions, leading several of them. 1929 instigated foundation of Black Sea Geophysical Station in the Crimea.
1930 helped found Chair of Marine Physics at Moscow Hydro-Meteorological Institute. 1945 founded Chair of Marine Physics at Moscow University.
