Biography
Yuri V. Tokarev was born in 1941. After education in State University he was sent to Radiophysical Research institute (Gorky, Russia) where he works so far. In 1972 Yu.Tokarev has completed his PhD thesis on synchrotron mechanism of nonthermal radio emission of the Galaxy. In 1974-1979 years he was appointed the head of the RRI laboratory at Vasil’sursk, Gorky region where at this time a powerful HF transmitting system named later the SURA facility was created. The main mission of the SURA facility is studying of the nonlinear phenomena of a powerful radio wave in ionosphere plasma. At the same time its 144-element antenna with the size 300 m x 300 m can work in reception mode too. Since 1980 Yu.Tokarev headed works at the facility on using of its antenna as radio astronomical tool in a poorly studied range at frequencies lower than 10 MHz and also as radar for investigation of near space objects (plasmasphere, Earth bow shock, Moon, solar wind) by radio sounding technique. He has published more than 30 papers in these areas in reviewed journals.
