Dr. Anatoly V. Belov received a Ph.D. in Astrophysics from the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere, and Radio Wave Propagation, IZMIRAN, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, in 1980. He left the Physical Faculty of the Lomonosov Moscow State University in 1969. He joined IZMIRAN, Russian Academy of Sciences, where he served as a Junior Scientist from 1969 to 1981, Senior Scientist from 1981 to 1994, and head of the Cosmic Ray Variation Laboratory from 1994 to the present. His scientific interests include the study of galactic and solar cosmic ray variations, ground level enhancements (GLEs), Forbush effects, cosmic ray anisotropy, and solar wind interaction with cosmic rays. His focus is on improving the theory of cosmic ray anisotropy, and on developing the methods of calculation of the cosmic ray anisotropy and gradients in space by ground-level and space craft observations. The methods of “ring stations” and pitch angle distribution of the cosmic rays in space are offered and intensively applied to the study of the interaction of cosmic rays with solar wind disturbances. At present, he is also focused on the problem of space weather, in particular, satellite anomalies and their relation to different space environmental parameters.
