The Carpathians are the longest mountain range in Europe and a geographic barrier between Central Europe, Eastern Balkans. To investigate climate of area, CARPATCLIM project members collected, quality-checked, homogenized, harmonized, interpolated daily data for 16 meteorological variables many derived indicators related to period 1961–2010. principal outcome is Climate Atlas Carpathian Region, hosted on dedicated website (www.carpatclim-eu.org) made high-resolution grids (0.1° × 0.1°) all...
This study examines the impact of climate change on agricultural productivity in Slovakia, Czech Republic, and Poland, focusing temperature sums influencing growing season. Using meteorological data from 2001 to 2020, research analyses onset termination temperatures ≥5 °C (growing season). Temperature for two periods (2001–2010, 2011–2020) were calculated future projections under three scenarios (+1.5 °C, +2.6 +3.6 °C) developed. Results indicate regional variation sums, with 69% area...
Abstract Among the variables that can be employed to characterize agricultural drought, soil drought is of particular importance. This contribution uses gridded soil‐drought values calculated from SoilClim model for 1961–2019 period analyse episodes (based on 10th percentile) in four lowlands, relatively homogeneous regions central Europe provide a longitudinal transect over Europe. These areas are predominantly located at altitudes below 400 m asl and include Bohemia, southern Moravia an...
A new probabilistic model for the assessment of mould growth in buildings has been elaborated within interdisciplinary – building physics/structural engineering cooperation. Both occurrences favourable conditions fungi and their durations are taken into account. The approach can be characterised as time dependent based on theory stochastic processes. resulting probability occurrence cycles having deteriorating potential suggests itself a measure hazard. By measure, management performance...
While general features of mountain climate are well recognised, there is not many research regarded their bioclimatic differentiation. The aim the present study to answer question how different geographical factors: elevation above sea level, physiographical type area, continentality and location area in relation main ridge influence thermal stress northern Carpathians. To analyse region, daily meteorological data from 21 stations national weather networks Poland, Ukraine Slovakia for period...
Abstract In mountain areas, air circulation plays a major role in the forming of climate. This paper examines how it influences thermal stress northern Carpathians. The Niedźwiedź’s classification was applied. Thermal assessed by Universal Climate Index (UTCI). Daily meteorological and data for period 1986–2015 were used 20 stations Poland, Slovakia Ukraine. Air found to have significant impact on stress. highest UTCI values are observed at Ca+Ka (centre high anticyclonic wedge or ridge...
The PannEx is a GEWEX-initiated, community driven research network in the Pannonian Basin. One of main scientific issues to address investigation precipitation extremes. Meteorological Services area collected hourly data and commonly used computer program, which was developed INTENSE project, produce set global hydro-climatic indices. Calculations are carried out on aggregated 1-, 3- 6-h intervals. Selected indices analyzed this paper assess general climatology short-term basin. following...
The World Meteorological Organisation predicts an increase in average annual temperature.As a result of climate change Slovakia, one can expect changes the distribution precipitation and moisture availability, temperature availability crop production, wintering conditions, many others.The aim this work was analysis agroclimatic indicators for period 1961-1990 1991-2020.The results showed sums temperatures growing season.Also, resulted zones indicator wintering.The have been shifting to...
Based on data from a period of 72 years (1951–2022), the impact atmospheric circulation precipitation, which is usually source floods, was assessed for area Western Carpathians. The analysis performed season April to October using daily rainfall totals originated E-OBS database and calendar types according Niedźwiedź's classification. A very significant influence cyclonic with airflow north northeast amount found. This generally visible throughout entire interest, but most spectacular in...
Climatological measurements for the assessment of snow loads on structures as practiced in Slovakia are discussed light methodologies described relevant backgrounds to Eurocodes. The database yearly load maxima based weekly water equivalent cover 660 rain-gauge stations recorded during last 52 winter seasons is analyzed. Special interest focused influence heavy snowfalls winters 2004/2005 and 2005/2006, particularly extreme cases observed.
Mountain areas create specific features of local climates (by modification air circulation, insolation, temperature, precipitation, wind regime) and greatly affect ambient weather conditions which influence different kinds human (climbing, skiing, walking, etc.). However, till now only few studies bioclimate in individual mountain ridges Europe were done. The aim the present study is to assess thermal stress represented by Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) nine systems Central Eastern...
The winter at the turn of years 1923 and 1924 in highest elevated areas Slovak mountains was exceptionally rich snow, leading to an increased occurrence avalanches. deadliest avalanche not only that season but entire history Slovakia occurred on night February 6, 1924, from southeast slope Mount Krížna (1,574 m above sea level) Veľká Fatra mountain range. In presented contribution, we try analyse meteorological snow conditions led this tragic...
Motivation The association between weather conditions and stroke incidence has been a subject of interest for several years, yet the findings from various studies remain inconsistent. Additionally, predictive modelling in this context infrequent. This study explores relationship extremely high ischaemic meteorological factors within Slovak population. Furthermore, it aims to construct forecasting models number strokes. Methods Over five-year period, total 52,036 cases ischemic were...
We present scenarios of how frequency days with precipitation may change over the territory Slovakia by 2050 and 2080 in article. Climatic were created from three regional climate models EURO-CORDEX for pessimistic emission scenario RCP8.5. analysed occurrence number class intervals: 5 – 9.9 mm, 10 19.9 20 29.9 30 39.9 as well open intervals ≥ 40 mm. To correct systematic errors models, we used data (daily totals) national network rain gauges. The RCM corrected two steps: first terms...
Abstract Climate warming is causing an increase in extreme hydrometeorological events most parts of the world. This phenomenon expected to continue and will affect frequency intensity precipitation events. Although bias correction regional climate model simulations has also been used assess changes extremes at daily longer time steps, trends series predicted have seldom considered. We present a novel technique that allows for correcting biases upper tails Generalized Extreme Value (GEV)...
Over the last decades, snow seasons in Europe were reported to become shorter with lower abundance of snow.However, at some stations situated above certain elevation, amount cover was found be increasing.This is also case high mountains Slovakia, where number snow-related studies showed differences related elevation.In this study we report on trends selected characteristics such as days (DSC) for 1, 10 and 20 cm depths, summed depths (SSD) mean (MSD).The data used collected by Slovak...
