The Laboratory of Hydrological Processes was organized by V.G. Kort in 1965. The Laboratory carried on experimental measurements in the ocean and data interpretation. Later, the laboratory changed its field of research and was renamed. E.G. Morozov was a senior scientist of this Laboratory. In 1993, E.G. Morozov became head of the Laboratory of Internal Waves. In 2011, this laboratory widened the number of scientists and scope of its activity. It was renamed as the Laboratory of Hydrological Processes as a successor of the historical laboratory...
