Climate characteristics of higher atmospheric levels
Kuchař, Aleš ; Pišoft, Petr (advisor) ; Žák, Michal (referee)
This work investigates the climatic characteristics of the upper atmosphere. The characteristics that were analyzed include air temperature, speed and direction of the zonal wind, geopotential height and total column of ozone or its mixing ratio in the individual levels of pressure. Data from projects NCEP/NCAR and ERA-40 reanalysis were used for these purposes. The data are present in a graphic form, particularly in the average monthly maps during 1978−2007 for the first one and during 1978−2002 for the second one with azimuthal projection for each hemisphere for the levels of 300, 100, 10 and 30 hPa. The results obtained are described and interpreted by a research of available literature.

Solar/geomagnetic aktivity, temperature of the winter polar lower stratosphere, the QBO phase and the stratospheric polar vortex
Bochníček, Josef ; Hejda, Pavel ; Huth, Radan ; Davídkovová, Hana
Labitzke (1987) has found a strong correlation between lower stratosphere temperature and solar cycle for data divided according to the QBO phase. This correlation explained why low solar activity combined with QBO-east phase or high solar activity and QBO-west phase was often followed by stratospheric warming and disturbed polar vortex. On th other hand, Arnold and Robinson (2001) have shown that high geomagnetic activity gives rise to cooling of lower stratosphere and leads to the strenghtening of polar vortex.
