Dangerous Weather Phenomena in Europe in The Year 2000 and their Dependence on Circulation
Abstract In the paper the influence of atmospheric circulation on selected dangerous weather phenomena in Europe in the year 2000 has been presented. Dangerous weather phenomena include: 30 days with thunderstorms in Poland and 26 examples of such phenomena in Europe (tornados, strong winds, thunder...
