The article is dedicated to the Baikal hydrologist Vladimir Ilyich Verbolov, who devoted his entire life to the study of Lake Baikal. He participated in the Great Patriotic War. Vladimir Ilyich Verbolov was awarded many awards for bravery, courage and valor: the Order of the Red Star and the Order of the Patriotic War II degree, the badge “Guard”. Vladimir Ilyich also received the gratitude Of the Supreme commander-in-chief I. V. Stalin and was awarded medals: “For bravery”, “For military merit”, “For the capture of Berlin”, “For the liberation of Warsaw”, “For victory in the great Patriotic war of 1941-1945” and “Zhukov Medal”. V. I. Verbolov is a graduate of the faculty of physics and mathematics of Irkutsk state University. His professional life was connected with the Baikal Limnological station, which in 1961 was reorganized into the Limnological Institute of the SB RAS. V. I. Verbolov made a significant contribution to the study of the thermal regime of waters, currents and water exchange in the lake. He conducted a planned study of the hydrodynamics of lake Baikal, which included the following areas: 1. surface and deep currents, flow rates, 2. horizontal and vertical currents, 3. intra-And inter-basin flow rates and water exchange, 4. radiation and heat balance, 5. mathematical modeling of hydrodynamic processes.V. I. Verbolov author of 180 scientific papers, including articles, monographs, collections, atlases, final scientific reports on state projects, in which he was the head.
