OF THE BACHELOR THESIS Štěpán Šubík Synoptic situations in Europe Department of Atmospheric Physics Supervisor of the bachelor thesis: Mgr. Michal Belda, Ph.D. Advisor of the bachelor thesis: Mgr. Michal Žák, Ph.D. Study programme: Physics Study branch: General Physics Prague 2018 Title: Synoptic situations in Europe Author: Štěpán Šubík Department: Department of Atmospheric Physics Supervisor: Mgr. Michal Belda, Ph.D., Department of Atmospheric Physics Advisor: Mgr. Michal Žák, Ph.D., Department of Atmospheric Physics Abstract: This thesis is written to describe classifications of weather types, one of the methods applicable in Central and Western Europe. The main aim is to find an objective classification, which can be used as a help and support for different weather forecast models. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first part offers an information about the most used weather type classifications and their objective definitions. In the second part is a comparison of the objective classifications and their applicability in the area of Central and West Europe. In the third part, we used the classification selected in part two, the Lamb weather types, to classify the area in years 2011-2017. A relationship between the weather types and temperature was also studied above the...

Extreme precipitation in low mountain ranges in Central Europe: a comparative study between the Vosges and the Ore mountains
Minářová, Jana ; Müller, Miloslav (advisor) ; Žák, Michal (referee) ; Caumont, Olivier (referee)
of the doctoral dissertation Extreme precipitation is related to flooding which is one of the most frequent natural hazards in Central Europe. Detailed understanding of extreme precipitation is the precondition for an efficient risk management and more precise projections of precipitation, which include uncertainties, especially at regional scale. The thesis focuses on extreme precipitation in the Ore Mountains (OM) and the Vosges Mountains (VG); two low mountain ranges in Central Europe experiencing orographic effect on precipitation. Based on state of the art about precipitation in OM and VG, a currently missing analysis of the temporal distribution of precipitation in VG was needed prior to the analysis of extremes. The original dataset of daily precipitation totals from 14 weather stations used in the initial study was extended to 168 stations covering a broader area of VG. The study of temporal distribution of precipitation during 1960-2013 led to a classification of stations: (i) mountainous stations with winter maxima and highest mean annual totals due to orographic enhancement of precipitation, (ii) stations on leeward slopes with two maxima (summer and winter), (iii) lee side stations with summer maxima and lowest mean annual totals due to rain shadow and more continental character, and...
