Long-term hydroecological monitoring in the Krkonoše Mts
 Tesař, Miroslav ; Šír, Miloslav
The cloud and fog water deposition proved to be important delivery mechanism for both water and pollutants in mountainous headwater regions. A fogwater study has been conducted in the Krkonoše Mts. since 1999 till the present time. The sampling site for the observation and evaluation occult precipitation in the Western region was established in the Modrý potok basin (1010–1554 m a.s.l., 2.62 km2) at the highest point of the watershed (passive cloud and fog water collector) while the bulk precipitation and throughfall samplers were installed near to the closure profile of the basin. Rain gauges are evenly situated at six altitudes of the watershed (from 1020 to 1365 m a. s. l.). In the Eastern region the both passive and active collectors were installed close to the Labská bouda chalet (1325 m a.s.l). The active collector (Eigenbrodt, Germany) is operated automatically by the PWD-11 sensor (Vaisala, Finland). Collected samples were stored in polyethylene bottles and transported as soon as possible to the laboratories of the Czech Geological Survey and Geological Institute of ASCR to the chemical analyses. The results for 1999–2011 will be presented in this article. A wide range of concentrations were encountered, most typically exceeding concentrations occurring in rain (so-called enrichment factors were evaluated) and the estimated wet deposition of the most important chemical compounds were calculated and compared with respect to weighted means of bulk precipitation collected in the open area. Based on the model predictions and on the water balance of the forest canopy the annual occult precipitation total for the Krkonoše Mts. was estimated by 20–25 % of the annual falling precipitation total. The research is supported by the Czech Science Foundation (205/09/1918).

Urban air pollution related to the specific meteorological condition
 Tesař, Miroslav
The main objectives of the present project are: (i) To create and maintain the monitoring system for the occult precipitation observation and assessment (i.e. sample taking active devices were installed in the chosen urban areas and both active and passive collectors were installed in the comparative mountainous region ); (ii) to examine if site-to-site differences in cloud and fog water chemical composition exist in the urban areas with various contaminant load; (iii) to assess the dependence of the pollutant concentration on the fog type and meteorological conditions; (iv) to work out the so-called climatological standards describing the frequency and duration of the individual types of occult precipitation for each locality; (v) to study the physical basis of the cloud and fog water deposition on the solid obstacle with the use of the mathematical modelling (using of the micrometeorological model).
