Daily Minimum and Maximum Air Temperature in Poland in the Years 1951–2005

Abstract In this study grid data of daily maximum and minimum air temperatures taken from the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis for the territory of Poland for the years 1951-2005 have been used as a basis for an analysis of the spatial distribution of daily maximum and minimum air temperature, the frequency of...

Description
Summary:Abstract In this study grid data of daily maximum and minimum air temperatures taken from the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis for the territory of Poland for the years 1951-2005 have been used as a basis for an analysis of the spatial distribution of daily maximum and minimum air temperature, the frequency of characteristic days and the variability of these parameters in the period analysed. The results obtained were then compared to the variability in atmospheric circulation in Europe, described by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index.
