Selected extreme weather events on the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea in the period 2001-2014
Abstract The article examines the spatial and temporal variability in selected extreme meteorological phenomena on the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea. Data from the 2001-2014 period related to a few meteorological and oceanographic elements were used to calculate indices of extreme weather events. T...
