Stochastic Weather Generators and Regional Climate Models: Rivals or Allies?
Dubrovský, Martin ; Štěpánek, Petr ; Meitner, Jan ; Zahradníček, Pavel
The paper demonstrates 'collaboration' between the stochastic weather generator SPAGETTA (WG) and Regional Climate Models (RCM) in analysing impacts of Climate Change (CC). In the first part of the paper, the generator is compared with the ensemble of 19 RCMs in terms of their ability to reproduce 11 spatial temperature and precipitation indices in eight European regions: the indices are based on registering days and spells exhibiting spatially significant occurrence of dry, wet, hot or cold weather, or possible combination of dryor-wet and hot-or-cold conditions. The obtained results indicate that both methodologies provide weather series of comparable quality. In the second part of the paper (which was done only for the Central Europe region), the WG parameters are modified using the RCM-based CC scenarios and the synthetic weather series representing the future climate are produced. This experiment is based on a set of CC scenarios, which consist of changes in selected combinations of following characteristics: (1) mean temperature, (2) temperature variability, (3) daily average precipitation (considering only wet days), (4) probability of wet day occurrence, (5) spatial lag-0 and lag-1day correlations of temperature and precipitation series. The synthetic series generated for each version of the CC scenario are analysed in terms the above mentioned spatial validation indices, the stress was put on effect of each of the five component of the CC scenario on individual validation indices. The results of the experiment indicate that the changes in temperature means is the main contributor to the changes in the validation obviously, except for the purely precipitation-based indices. Positive changes in the lag-0 and lag-1day correlations of both temperature and precipitation are the second most significant contributor to the changes in the validation indices.

Modeling the impacts of combined climatic events on the growth, development and yield parameters of field thermophilic vegetables and oilseed rape in the decision support system in the field of agrotechnology transfer - DSSAT
Potopová, Vera ; Muntean, N. ; Chawdhery, M. ; Trifan, T. ; Zehnálek, P. ; Soukup, J. ; Potop, I. ; Zahradníček, Pavel ; Možný, Martin
Modeling the impacts of combined climate events on the growth, development and yield parameters of field thermophilic vegetables and oilseed rape in a decision support system in the field of agrotechnology transfer - DSSAT. This book will introduce you to the latest information technologies and their applications in agriculture, including decision support systems, crop simulation models and other computer tools. It should also help you to solve problems at the regional level on issues related to crop production and other issues related to agriculture, natural resource management and cropping systems and food security, as well as issues related to climate change and variability. This professional book offers users the appropriate supplementary material to enable them to continuously meet the demands of a changing climate. The book is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part summarizes basic information about simulations of crop production, water and nutrient management, climate risks and environmental sustainability. In the practical part, the procedures for working in the DSSAT program (Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer) are presented.

The methodology formulates a procedure for assessing the risks of the occurrence and spread of natural fires in the immediate vicinity of surface sources of drinking water. The methodology\nproposes methods for estimating the consequences of natural fires on surface water quality, forecasting the change in the risk of fires due to climate change and the procedure for determining the risk of secondary pollution of reservoirs due to changes in run off after a natural fire. On this basis, the methodology proposes and diversifies preventíve and operational measures.The measures were designed in connection to modeling results for the Hadce pilot síte near the Švihov reservoir and the experience with the adverse effects of extensive deforestation on the water quality in the Vranov and Vír reservoirs.

Study of Thermal Comfort in the Urban Environment
Šubík, Štěpán ; Holtanová, Eva (advisor) ; Zahradníček, Pavel (referee)
This thesis is written to compare indices, which describe the perceived temperature of human body in thermal environment and apply them to study the thermal comfort of city inhabitants. The thesis is divided into five parts. In the first part, many thermal indices are presented and classified into empirical, commercially used or analytical indices by their definition. The practical usage of thermal indices is mentioned in the next chapter. In the third chapter, the most suitable thermal indices for describing the urban ther- mal comfort are found. Those are UTCI, PET, PT, SET* and mPET. Thermal index mPET .has been chosen to be used further in this study. The fourth chapter includes the application of mPET on meteorological data from Prague, Berlin, Hamburg, Nürnberg, Köln and Frankfurt. The frequencies and long- term behaviour are studied as well as the effect of the street canyon for Prague's streets Dělnická, Rohanské nábřeží, Legerova and Vinohradská. The last part discusses the results. The thermal comfort in Prague and Berlin, to- gether with the effects of the street canyon in Prague are studied more closely. It was found that in Prague, Berlin, Hamburg, Nürnberg and Frankfurt, the frequencies of evening thermal discomfort, in terms of heat stress, are higher in the cities than in sur- rounding areas...

Trnka, Miroslav ; Čermák, Petr ; Kudláčková, Lucie ; Balek, Jan ; Semerádová, Daniela ; Brovkina, Olga ; Zemek, František ; Štěpánek, Petr ; Zahradníček, Pavel ; Skalák, Petr ; Bláhová, Monika ; Jurečka, František ; Janouš, Dalibor ; Žalud, Zdeněk ; Marek, Michal V. ; Cienciala, Emil ; Beranová, J. ; Zatloukal, V. ; Albert, J. ; Tumajer, J. ; Možný, M. ; Hájková, L. ; Chuchma, F.
The presented methodology represents an improvement of the currently used system of wildfire monitoring and forecast. Based on extensive testing, it defines two fire weather indices. The method shows how the combination of both indices can lead to robust fire risk estimates. Both indices were uset to generate a forecast of fire weather, but also to quantify th erelationship between the frequency of favorable conditions for the occurrence of natural fires and their observed numbers, in several time steps (from 1 day to the entire season) The methodology has been implemented within the www. firerisk.cz portal, where it serves as a tool for operational fire risk forecasting. The text of the methodology therefore contains instructions for using the menthodology therefore contains instructions for using the firerick.cz portal. Great attention is paid in the methodology to the aspect of climate change and estimating the impact of this phenomenon on the frequency of wildfires in the Czech republic.

The methodology formulates graded adaptation and mitigation measures to mitigate fire risk and spread fire in the countryside (forest and agricultural land). To this end, a variant assessment procedure is presented fire risk according to the user's data capabilities. The algorithmization of fire risk in forests is based on forest typology to assess habitats, and adds forest vegetation characteristics. On agricultural Soil agronomic factors include crop type, cover cover, habitat and water characteristics regime. For both territorial categories, the expected impacts of climate change on fire risk are given habitat in the medium term (by 2050). Methodology in conclusion on a case study demonstrates the possibilities of using the model tool FlamMap for the analysis of fire characteristics.
