The influence of geomagnetic activity on the course of stratospheric warming
Davídkovová, Hana ; Bochníček, Josef ; Hejda, Pavel ; Huth, Radan
The temperature of the winter polar lower stratosphere is affected except the solar activity and atmospheric circulation by the geomagnetic activity as well. Plausible physical mechanism for its effect was described by Arnold and Robinson. According to this paper, warming in the lower thermosphere caused by geomagnetic activity produces the reduction of blending mid and high latitude air masses. In consequence of this reduction the temperature of solar insulated region (polar lower stratosphere)decreases. The aim of this work is to verify functionality of such mechanism.

Changes in atmospheric circulation in Central Europe and their influence on climate in the Czech Republic
Cahynová, Monika ; Huth, Radan
This work is concerned with the influence of changes of atmospheric circulation (represented by the Hess-Brezowsky and Brádka’s subjective catalogues of synoptic types) on observed linear trends of 11 climatic elements from 21 stations in the Czech Republic in the period 1961-1998. The ratio of "hypothetical" (caused only by changes in the frequency of synoptic types) and observed trends shows that changes in atmospheric circulation are the primary cause of massive winter warming, and autumn cooling connected with increasing precipitation and humidity. In spring and summer, the influence is insignificant except for precipitation, relative humidity and cloudiness changes that are related to trends in the Hess-Brezowsky catalogue, mostly in spring.
