The aim of this study was to identify typical and specific features land surface temperature (LST) distribution in the city Krakow its surroundings with use Landsat/ETM+ data. paper contains a detailed description area technical properties Landsat program data, as well complete methodology LST retrieval. Retrieved records have been standardized order ensure comparability between satellite images acquired during different seasons. method also enables identification characteristic thermal...
Abstract. In this paper we present EMO-5 (“European Meteorological Observations”, spatial resolution of 5 km), a European high-resolution, (sub-)daily, multi-variable meteorological dataset built on historical and real-time observations obtained by integrating data from 18 964 ground weather stations, four high-resolution regional observational grids (i.e. CombiPrecip, ZAMG – INCA, EURO4M-APGD, CarpatClim), one global reanalysis (ERA-Interim/Land). includes the following at daily resolution:...
In cities located in concave landforms, urban heat island (UHI) is an element of a complicated thermal structure and occurs due to the common impact built-up areas orography-induced processes like katabatic flows or air temperature inversions. Kraków, Poland (760,000 inhabitants) large valley river Vistula. years 2009–2013, was measured with 5-min sampling resolution at 21 rural points, various landforms. Cluster analysis used process data for night-time. Sodar synoptic provided results...
The increasing number of heat wave (HW) days, combined with the urban island (UHI) phenomenon, poses a threat to health and comfort city residents. This study investigates impact HWs on diurnal cycles intensity spatial structure atmospheric UHI (AUHI) surface (SUHI). A comparative analysis is conducted simultaneous night–day variability AUHI SUHI intensities in Kraków two 24 h summer periods: one representing normal conditions (Period W) other HW H). Evaluating sub-daily patterns based...
Abstract. This paper assesses the merits and drawbacks of several data sets solar downwelling radiation received at horizontal surface tropical Atlantic Ocean where magnitude this its spatial temporal variability are not well known. The compared to quality-controlled measurements hourly means irradiance made five buoys PIRATA network for period 2012–2013. comprise re-analyses MERRA-2 ERA5, three satellite-derived sets: HelioClim-3v5, SARAH-2 CAMS Radiation Service v2. It was found that ERA5...
The paper presents an additional ArcGIS Desktop 10 toolbox for automatic retrieval of brightness temperature (Ts), land surface emissivity (LSE) and (LST) from LANDSAT data. TRS (Thermal Remote Sensing) Tools employ estimation procedure developed by J. C. Jimenez-Munoz A. Sobrino [1, 2, 3 4]. Detailed description this algorithm is included. Special attention paid to practical use the maps derived data in terms environmental research. Numerous examples are referred detailed application...
Abstract. Solar radiation is the main driver of Earth's climate. Measuring solar and analysing its interaction with clouds are essential for understanding climate system. The EUMETSAT Satellite Application Facility on Climate Monitoring (CM SAF) generates satellite-based, high-quality data records, a focus energy balance water cycle. Here, multiple these records analyzed in common framework to assess consistency trends spatio-temporal variability surface radiation, top-of-atmosphere...
Many studies on the changes in rhythm of nature (animate and inanimate) revealed that plants are good indicators climate change, because they responsive to air temperature variations. There is a clear trend towards earlier onset plant development Poland, especially for spring phenological events as flowering leafing. The main objective this study was identify tendencies selected indicator species Poland explore statistical relationship between mean date against monthly temperature....
Urban areas are among those most endangered with the potential global climate changes. The studies concerning impact of changes on local cities a high significance for urban inhabitants' health and wellbeing. This paper is final report project (Urban in Central European change) aim to raise public awareness issues five cities: Szeged (Hungary), Brno (Czech Republic), Bratislava (Slovakia), Kraków (Poland) Vienna (Austria). Within project, complex data geomorphological features, land use...
Abstract The exigencies of the global community toward Earth system science will increase in future as human population, economies, and footprint on planet continue to grow. This growth, combined with intensifying urbanization, inevitably exert increasing pressure all ecosystem services. A unified interdisciplinary approach is required that can address this challenge, integrate technical demands long-term visions, reconcile user scientific feasibility. Together research arms World...
The aims of this study are to characterize the spatial and temporal variability extremely warm days (WDs) spells (WSs) in summer as well cold (CDs) (CSs) winter Alaska years 1951–2015 determine role atmospheric circulation their occurrence. analysis is performed using daily temperature maxima (TMAX) minima (TMIN) measured at 10 weather stations mean values sea level pressure wind direction 850 hPa isobaric level.

Abstract. The main objective of this study was evaluation and mapping an average rate phenological changes for example special plant s indicators as a result climatic in Poland. Multi-year analysis clearly showed tendency to earlier onset spring events. advance flowering/leafing −1.4 days/decade −2.4 days/1°C. Whereas the response autumn phenophases ambiguous. Phenological climate data come from archives Institute Meteorology Water Management. Analysis covered period 1951–1992. relation...
The main purpose of the study is to introduce methods for mapping spatial distribution occurrence selected atmospheric phenomena (thunderstorms, fog, glaze and rime) over Poland from 1966 2010 (45 years). Limited in situ observations as well discontinuous location-dependent nature these make traditional interpolation inappropriate. Spatially continuous maps were created with use geospatial predictive modelling techniques. For each given phenomenon, an algorithm identifying its favourable...
This paper provides an early career researchers (ECRs) perspective on major challenges and opportunities that arise in the study understanding of, provision of regional information for Climate, Weather Hydrological (CWH) extreme events. emerged from discussions three-day Young Earth System Scientists - Hydrologic Society (YESS-YHS) workshop, which was conjointly held with Global Energy Water Exchanges (GEWEX) Open Science Conference. In this we discuss three possible ways forward field: a...
