Models of Climate, Geophysical Boundary Layers, and the Active Land Layer: In Memory of V. N. Lykosov

This paper is dedicated to the memory of Vasily Nikolaevich Lykosov, a prominent Russian scientist and a specialist in the field of mathematical modeling of the dynamics of the turbulent boundary layer and its interaction with large-scale atmospheric circulation, global and regional climatic processes, and the active layer of the land. His scientific activities are briefly described in the context of modern research, one characteristic feature of which is attention to the links between local and global physical phenomena and a combination of theoretical models and numerical experiments.
