The Poland-AOD aerosol research network was established in 2011 to improve aerosol–climate interaction knowledge and provide a real-time historical, comprehensive, quantitative database for the optical properties distribution over Poland. consists of institutions private owners operating 10 measurement stations an organization responsible model transport simulations. collaboration provides observations spectral depth (AOD), Ångstrom Exponent (AE), incoming shortwave (SW) longwave (LW)...
Abstract In this study grid data of daily maximum and minimum air temperatures taken from the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis for territory Poland years 1951-2005 have been used as a basis an analysis spatial distribution temperature, frequency characteristic days variability these parameters in period analysed. The results obtained were then compared to atmospheric circulation Europe, described by North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index.
Abstract The article contains an analysis of the influence cloudiness and atmospheric circulation on components radiation balance (Q*) using example measurements taken in extra-urban area Koniczynka near Toruń (Central Poland) years 2011–2018. average annual value Q* was 1,818.5 MJ·m −2 with a maximum 352.3 June, negative values from November to January (December: − 27.4 ). shortwave (S*) amounted 3,129.2 longwave (L*) ˗1,310.7 . In June solar irradiance (S↓) at midday 600 W·m natural...
Abstract This paper presents the results of long‐term observations (1964–2003) direct solar radiation, to determine aerosol optical depth (AOD), made with a Linke‐Feussner actinometer at Tatra Mountain Meteorological Observatory on Mount Kasprowy Wierch (1991 m above sea level, 49.233°N, 19.982°E). To this end, broadband flux (0.29–2.9 µm) and wideband radiation measured OG530 RG630 filters are used estimate (0.53–0.63 AOD. The inversion algorithm is based MODTRAN (MODerate resolution...
Abstract The early twentieth-century warming (ETCW), defined as occurring within the period 1921–50, saw a clear increase in actinometric observations Arctic. Nevertheless, information on radiation balance and its components at that time is still very limited availability, therefore large discrepancies exist among estimates of total solar irradiance forcing. To eliminate these uncertainties, all available data for Arctic need to be collected processed. Better knowledge about incoming...
<p>W opracowaniu przedstawiono zagadnienie związku usłonecznienia z cyrkulacją atmosfery na podstawie badań przeprowadzonych w Koniczyncek/Torunia latach 1999-2013. Usłonecznienie było mierzone heliografem Campbella-Stokesa, natomiast sytuacje synoptyczne zostały określone wg klasyfikacji T. Niedźwiedzia. W badanym okresie Koniczynce stwierdzono istotną statystycznie korelację częstością typów sytuacji synoptycznych. Największe usłonecznienie wystąpiło roku o największym udziale...
Abstract This paper presents the results of long‐term observations (1964–2010) direct solar flux at two stations in Tatra Mountains Poland (Central Europe). The measurements obtained from a Linke‐Feussner actinometers are used to estimate broadband (0.29–2.9 μm) and wideband (0.53–0.63 aerosol optical depth (BAOD WAOD, respectively). Both BAOD WAOD Mount Kasprowy Wierch (1,991 m a.s.l.) Zakopane (851 show similar annual cycles with peaks during spring summer. Coincidence actinometer...
Abstract : This article investigates the spatial distribution of global solar radiation (K↓) in Toruń and its suburbs, observed 2012. Measurements were taken at 12 points (7 within city 5 suburban area) using CNR4 net radiometers automatic weather stations (Vantage Pro+). At all locations, diurnal annual courses K↓ typically related to Earth’s rotational movement changes sun’s declination over year, disturbed by clouds atmospheric phenomena that enhance extinction radiation. A substantial...
Abstract The paper presents the variability of global solar radiation (K↓) in agriculture area (Koniczynka near Toruń) years 2003–2016. K↓ has been analysed with reference to atmospheric circulation. mean yearly sum period was 3,816.0 MJ·m −2 . In an annual course highest values occurred June (608.3 ) and smallest December (69.0 ). diurnal symmetrical respect noon. Only 44.7% energy on top atmosphere reaches ground. transmittance spring summer, lowest December. observations revealed increase...
This paper provides an assessment of the spatial diversity biometeorological conditions in Toruń and its suburban area 2012. The study makes use meteorological data sourced from 10 automatic weather stations set up at locations differing terms land cover use. analysis was based on hourly resolution comprising following elements: air temperature (°C), global solar radiation (W·m–2), relative humidity (%) wind speed (m·s–1). These elements provided a basis for calculation indices: universal...
We utilise ground-based, balloon-borne and satellite climatology data to reconstruct site season-dependent vertical profiles of precipitable water vapour (PWV). use these solve radiative transfer through the atmosphere, derive atmospheric brightness temperature ($T_{\rm atm}$) optical depth ($\tau$) at centimetre wavelengths. validate reconstruction by comparing model column PWV with photometric measurements PWV, performed in clear sky conditions pointed towards Sun. Based on measurements,...

Abstract This article analyses the conditions affecting incoming global solar radiation in Hornsund (Spitsbergen) spring of 2015. Incoming turned out to be average for season under analysis, as compared with longer-term data. The clearness index ( K T ) was 0.46, and mainly determined by extent cloudiness. As a result differences length day, sunshine duration May greater than April. earth’s surface is also affected atmospheric optical properties. value aerosol depth (AOD) at 500 nm 2015...
Abstract The present study deals with the changing amount of incoming direct solar radiation and optical state atmosphere in Mikołajki years 1971-1980 1991-2000. highest level irradiance these two decades occurred on 23 rd June 1977 amounted to 1043.9 W·m -2 . Compared first decade analysed, percentage constant reaching Earth second was higher. spectral structure also changed - share shortest waves (λ<525 nm) increased, whereas a wavelength 710 nm or more decreased. In both periods annual...
