Boris Vvedensky

Boris Alekseyevich Vvedensky (Russian: Борис Алексеевич Введенский; 19 April 1893 – 1 June 1969) was a Soviet radiophysicist, academic and university professor.

In 1919 he became an employee of the laboratory of the Main Military-Engineering Directorate of the Red Army and a lecturer at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of Moscow State University.

From 1927 to 1934 he took part in the compilation of the "Technical Encyclopedia" in 26 volumes, edited by Ludwig Martens, author of articles on the subject of "radiophysics".

Subsequently, in two reviews (1941, 1943), he gave a scientific substantiation of the data available in the world literature on the influence of the troposphere on the propagation of ultrashort waves.

From 1944, he carried out a number of studies related to elucidating the influence of the troposphere on the propagation of ultrashort waves and the formation of a new field of knowledge, radio meteorology.
