Temporal and spatial variability of air temperature and
precipitation at the Polish coastal zone of the southern Baltic Sea
The study concerns the analysis of temporal and spatial
variability of thermal and precipitation conditions at the Polish Baltic
coastal zone in the second half of the twentieth century and the first decade
of the twenty–first century. The paper also presents its annual and daily
extreme values of air temperature and precipitation. The study area includes
the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea at which long–term measurements and
observations of weather conditions have been performed within the national
meteorological services at seven Baltic coastal stations. Their daily data of
air temperature and precipitation taken from the measuring period of 1966–2009
were used in the study. For each meteorological station was set thresholds of
annual average air temperature and annual total precipitation. Temporal
variability of air temperature was determined by the thermal classification
made by Lorenc (1998). Temporal variability of precipitation was determined by
the precipitation classification made by Kaczorowska (1998).
