Variability of air-mass occurrence in southern Poland (1951-2010)
The paper discusses the frequency, persistence and succession sequence of six types of air mass during the period 1951-2010. The study, which relied on a calendar of air masses in southern Poland published by T. Niedźwiedź, concludes that there is no simple relationship between the persistence and t...

The study found that there was a great variety in the persistence of specific types of air mass and that persistence depended more on the direction of air mass advection than on their frequency of occurrence.
