Abstract Despite the importance of high-latitude surface energy budgets (SEBs) for land-climate interactions in rapidly changing Arctic, uncertainties their prediction persist. Here, we harmonize SEB observations across a network vegetated and glaciated sites at circumpolar scale (1994–2021). Our variance-partitioning analysis identifies vegetation type as an important predictor SEB-components during Arctic summer (June-August), compared to other SEB-drivers including climate, latitude...
Abstract The climatic change on King George Island (KGI) in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica, years of 1948-2011 are presented. In reference period, a statistically significant increase air temperature (0.19ºC/10 years, 1.2ºC analysed period) occurred along with decrease atmospheric pressure (−0.36 hPa/10 2.3 hPa). winter time, warming up is more than twice as large summer. This leads to amplitude annual cycle temperature. On KGI, there also trend daily maximum and minimum evidently...
ABSTRACT In this article, the results of an investigation into air temperature conditions on Svalbard in period 1 September 2010 to 31 August 2011 are presented. For period, parallel measurements have been made as many 30 sites. On basis unique set data it was possible study, detail, spatial distribution different thermal characteristics [mean temperature, diurnal range (DTR), day‐to‐day variability, degree climate continentality, etc.] Svalbard. Such knowledge whole not previously available...
Abstract This study investigated the mass balance, melting, near-surface ice thermal structure and meteorological conditions of Ecology Sphinx glacier system (ESGS), located on King George Island, Antarctic Peninsula. The also analysed role climate change in glacial retreat ESGS long (1979–2012) short term, with a particular focus impact 2012–13 balance ESGS. In 2012–13, glaciers had mean annual net +17.8 cm w.e., but over term have been receding this region. area loss between 1979 2012...
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 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 presents the results of measurements ground temperature in context general meteorological conditions at Henryk Arctowski Station (King George Island, South Shetland Islands, Antarctic) from period 20 January 2013 to 22 February 2013. were taken using a Vantage Pro+ automatic weather station and thermal measured by means HOBO data logger. variability was analysed an annual diurnal cycle. A clear recurrent pattern observed summer season, resulting more favourable...
Abstract The article analyses the variability of thermal seasons in Poland 1961–2020. Based on average monthly air temperature values from 55 stations, onset and end dates as well duration six were calculated. Taking into account thresholds 0°C, 5°C 15°C for each year, early spring, summer, autumn, winter can be distinguished. A significant spatial differentiation beginning was observed. influence continentalism (in east) oceanic climate west) Baltic Sea are noticeable, mountainous regions,...
Abstract This study documents the evolution of severe thunderstorm outbreaks that occurred on 10 and 11 August, 2017 in Poland. used cloud-to-ground lightning-strike data from PERUN lightning detection network managed by Polish Institute Meteorology Water Management – National Research Institute. In description storm phenomena authors also applied synoptic maps, meteorological radar data, vertical atmosphere soundings station The aim this was to trace causes upward movement supercells...
This article comprises an analysis of the variability meteorological conditions on Kaffiøyra (NW Spitsbergen, Svalbard) in 2013-2017 connection with atmospheric circulation and extent sea ice.The obtained results were compared observations made at Ny-Ålesund station.Due to situation area polar region large amount clouds, especially summer, annual sum incoming solar radiation was small, amounting average 2,237.8MJ .m -2 per year.The mean air temperature considered period -2.0°C.Its extreme...
This paper presents changes in the range and thickness of glaciers Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) No. 128 on King George Island period 1956–2015. The research indicates an intensification glacial retreat process over last two decades, with rate depending type glacier front. In 2001–2015, average recession ice cliffs Ecology Glacier northern part Baranowski was estimated to be approximately 15–25 m a−1 10–20 a−1, respectively. Fronts Sphinx southern Glacier, characterized by a...
Air Temperature and Precipitation Changes in the Kaffiøyra Region (NW Spitsbergen) from 1975 to 2010 temperature precipitation conditions region summer season (21 st July-31 August) for period of 1975-2010 are described: 1) on basis data gathered 18 expeditions during which meteorological measurements were done, 2) complete series combining both original reconstructed data. The latter ones obtained using Ny Ålesund station, strongly correlated with Kaffiøyra. Seasonal statistics presented...
<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 provides an overview of the results research on changes in ground temperature down to 50 cm depth, Kaffiøyra Plain, Spitsbergen summer seasons. To achieve this, measurement data were analysed from three different ecotopes (CALM Site P2A, P2B and P2C) – a beach, moraine tundra collected during 22 polar expeditions between 1975 2014. ensure comparability, sets for common period 21 July 31 August (referred as “summer season” further text) analysed.

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...
