XXIII International Symposium "Atmospheric and Ocean Optics. Atmospheric Physics"

July 03-07, 2017, Irkutsk

First Announcement

The XXIII International Symposium "Atmospheric and Ocean Optics. Atmospheric Physics" will be organized by the Institute V.E. Zuev Institute of Atmospheric Optics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SB RAS) and Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics SB RAS in Irkutsk, July 3 - 7, 2017. The Symposium is a traditional meeting of atmospheric and ocean optics and atmospheric physics community, which has a long history as a successor of the symposiums on Laser Propagation in Atmosphere and Laser Remote Sensing of Atmosphere beginning in the early seventies and organized by academician Vladimir E. Zuev.
