Does temperature change in the Czech Republic speed up or slow down?
Macháčková, Veronika ; Huth, Radan (advisor) ; Cahynová, Monika (referee)
This thesis deals with changes in temperature and its main objective is to determine whether the temperature changes in the Czech Republic speed up or slow down. The review section describes the development of selected indicators of temperature in the world, in Europe and Central Europe. In the second part I analyzed the mean daily temperature from 17 weather stations in the Czech Republic in the period 1961-2010. I calculated from the data the mean annual temperature trends and mean seasonal temperatures trends of selected stations (average of all 17 stations) for the period 1961-2010 and two sub-periods 1961-1985 and 1986-2010. Furthermore I examined seasonal trends for each station (I calculate trends for the moving 25 year periods, mutually shifted by one year). The work also shows moving average mean temperature for each season at each station. The results acquired are compared with studies in the review part of my work. Result indicate that, except for winter, temperature trends in the Czech Republic have been increasing, i.e., either the warming accelerates (in spring and summer) or a slight cooling turns into warming (in autumn).
