Bioklimat wybranych miast pasa Pobrzeży Południowobałtyckich na podstawie uniwersalnego wskaźnika obciążenia cieplnego (Bioclimate of the chosen cities in the Polish Baltic Coast based on Universal Thermal Climate Index)
Journal Title: Acta Geographica Lodziensia - Year 2016, Vol 104, Issue
Abstract
The paper addresses the bioclimatic conditions of selected towns of the southern part of the Polish Baltic Coast on the basis of the UTCI index. Moreover, the authors, by using observational data from coastline stations, as well as reanalysis data of the mean sea level pressure and the 500 hPa geopotential height from the NCEP/NCAR, attempt to explain which synoptic situations are conductive to the occurrence of days with very strong and extreme cold or heat stress. The research proved that the lack of thermal stress occurs most frequently. Among days with aggravating conditions days with the cold stress category appear most frequently. The study of long-term trends showed a statistically significant increase in the value of the UTCI index in the year and seasons. An analysis of days by the UTCI index category trends showed an increase in the number of days with condi-tions of both heat and cold stress in Świnoujście and Łeba, heat stress in Kołobrzeg and cold stress in Hel.
