Variability of Air Masses Over Podlasie (Ne Poland) in the Years 2001–2010
Abstract This paper concerns the frequency and duration of air masses over Podlasie (NE Poland) in the years 2001-2010. The synoptic maps in the Daily Meteorological Bulletin of the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management (IMGW 2001-2010) were the basis for the designation of six air masses ob...
