Abstract. The aim of this paper is to analyse indices extreme precipitation in Krivošije, Montenegro, the wettest Mediterranean region, from period 1951–2007 and their relationships with atmospheric circulation using "SynopVis Grosswetterlagen" (SVG) series. Data two stations were analysed, namely Crkvice (42°34'N 18°39'E) Herceg Novi (42°27'N 18°31'E). Four extremes (SDII, R75p, R95p, R95pTOT) assessed including number dry days. results suggest that days decreased. To relationship between...

The share of wind power in energy consumption is continuously increasing at the national level as well global. Many strategies plan an increase installed capacity farms future. Accordingly, this paper provides assessment spatial suitability for farm siting and estimation potential territory Serbia. unsuitable areas (75.91% territory) are extracted based on sociopolitical, physical, conservation, pseudo-economic constraints (22 factors). available land (24.09%) was evaluated applying...

In this paper, we are dealing with two extreme events in temperature and population – heat wave mortality. Our aim is to assess the relation between high temperatures daily mortality counts during summer months period 2000–2010 Belgrade (Serbia). order establish connection, used Poisson regression different measures of wave: Warm Spell Duration Index (WSDI) apparent (T app). As mean increases over 90th, 95th 99th percentiles, average number deaths for 15.3% (p < .01), 22.4% .05) 32.0%...

Rural areas have been usually observed through agriculture; however, today, it is broadened with various activities. In Serbia, has characterized by unbalanced development, which led to a declining vitality and depopulation. The main goal of this research detection seasonally activated rural in expressed the population fluctuation, temporary settlement, or occasional use residential economic facilities, identification spatial patterns seasonal use. This applied an innovative proxy—nighttime...

The Three-Toed Woodpecker Picoides tridactylus is a rare and endangered woodpecker on the Balkan Peninsula. Despite being widely distributed in Northern Europe, its distribution Peninsula limited to high-altitude forest habitats, where it represents glacial relict. Assessing climate change impacts can be crucial for improving conservation future survival of this specialist species We used modelling (SDM) identify potential past (last interglacial last maximum), present, (2050 2070). Our...

In mid-July 2012, hundreds of fires spread over forest stands in the south Europe. Considering available satellite and meteorological data we have tried to determine a method using analogy, whether these were preceded by intensified solar activity. The justification this approach lies belief that it is impossible direct or indirect activity man set fire at same time sites are geographically separated. paper test hypothesis claiming charged particles coming us from Sun may be responsible for...

The long-term exposure to PM2.5 (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm) is the leading global health risk factor. spatio-temporal variability of annual values total concentrations in Serbia analyzed using high-resolution (0.01° × 0.01°) gridded data set V4.EU.02 for period 2001-2016. Population counts and density were used calculate population while urban land cover estimate relations between size area concentration PM2.5. mean vary range 13.93 μg/m3-28.91 μg/m3. regional...

The study analyzes regional differences in the variability of time series minimum temperatures during spring and autumn, spatio-temporal last frost date first autumn date, as well length frost-free periods, 15 stations Serbia for period 1961–2010. analysis trend dates occurrence over showed that occurred earlier between 0.48 2.67 d decade−1, while changes were neither uniform nor statistically significant. Statistically significant at majority starts mid-1980s, later onset occurs second half...

Cloudiness is an important climate parameter, and it closely related to insolation, temperature, precipitation. Total cloud cover (TCC) data along with the number of cloudless (CL) overcast (OC) days from 18 stations in Montenegro during period 1961-2017 were used determine seasonal trends possible causes cloudiness variability. The Mann-Kendall test Sen’s slope for trend detection. We found statistically significant (p &lt; 0.05 p 0.10) decreasing (increasing) TCC (the CL days) winter,...

Nighttime lights represent the result of satellite observation artificial lighting human activities on Earth from space during night, which provides excellent opportunity to determine their position, pattern, density, and spatial distribution. Such data have a high detail temporal resolution, opens wide range possibilities for quantitative qualitative analysis. In this paper, nighttime are used as highly accurate dataset indirect tracking changes in patterns population distribution activity...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether Belgrade (Serbia) suitable candidate for introduction Heat Health Warning System (HHWS). has high population density, considerable share built up area and lot multi floor buildings that are factors heat-health vulnerability. Design/methodology/approach authors analyzed the impact weather conditions on human health in during summer 2007 was extremely warm Southeastern Europe Serbia. Daily cardiovascular, cerebrovascular respiratory...

The impact of solar activity on environmental processes is difficult to understand and complex for empirical modeling. This study aimed establish forecast models the meteorological conditions in forest fire areas based parameters applying neural networks approach. During July August 2018, severe fires simultaneously occurred State California (USA), Portugal, Greece. Air temperature humidity data together with (integral flux protons, differential electron proton flux, wind plasma parameters,...

Soil erosion is a global environmental and economic problem that significantly related to land-use changes. Over the last decades, several mountain areas in Serbia were exposed strong human pressure caused by winter tourism development. The largest ski center situated on Kopaonik Mountain within boundaries of National Park, where conflict between conservation goals rapidly growing. In this study, we calculated sedimentation surface runoff three sub-basins area resort for two years (1984...

This study investigates factors contributing to public perception of and behaviors related air pollution in Serbia. A range multidimensional indicators, including demographic socioeconomic features, health status data, living environment factors, were utilized evaluate observed awareness exposure activities. Air is a serious concern many areas Serbia, particularly during the cold season when emissions from heating sector contribute high levels particulate matter. In period March May 2023,...

This paper analyzes climate change and its impact on river discharge. issue is very well studied worldwide, but in Serbia so far has been poorly studied. The first part of the presents views two different opinions, those who favored anthropogenic increasing greenhouse effect, say that this due to natural factors. Most attention paid changes temperature precipitation patterns. Classification by group favor promotion phenomena demonstrated through analysis flow fluctuations hydrological gauge...

This paper analyses the series of annual sums precipitation for 27 stations in Serbia period 1951-2010. The lowest average perennial values have been determined northern Serbia, that is, generally a reduction is noticed from west to east country. Northeast, east, south and southeast show negative trend values, while positive confirmed rest with highest southwest Serbia. advantage applying method cumulative „bootstrapping“ analysis time relation linear has emphasized. Periods when was below...

Solar activity can significantly impact the Earth’s atmosphere through variations in electromagnetic radiation and solar energetic particles (SEPs). While investigation of connections between has a long history, recently, there been growing interest research on rapid SEPs weather climate Earth. Entering atmosphere, fast originating from coronal mass ejection holes increase ionization rates affect atmosphere’s processes. Although penetration into magnetosphere polar area is recognized, how...
