Main controls affecting the occurrence and extremity of rain-on-snow events in the Ptačí potok basin in the Šumava Mts.
Paulusová, Barbora ; Jeníček, Michal (advisor) ; Hotový, Ondřej (referee)
Rain-on-snow events (ROS) are natural phenomena that have the potential to cause serious floods, wet avalanches and slushflows. Due to climate change the spatial distribution and intensity of ROS events is changing. Accordingly, ROS events become more frequent in high-elevation areas as well as in high latitudes, whereas their occurrence at low-elevation and low latitudes is less common. The behaviour of a snow coverduringrainfallandmechanismsofrainwaterpropagationthroughthesnowpackarestill poorly understood. A frequency and correlation analysis of ROS events in the Ptačí potok basin in the Šumava Mts. was conducted. The selected characteristics of the events were calculated from measured climate and streamflow data (2015-2019) and then analysed to examine the influence of individual characteristics on the development of ROS events. Results indicate a significant correlation between the amount of precipitation and the resulting outflow, as well as the influence of other snow and rain characteristics was shown. The time lag of outflow was mainly influenced by snow density. In order to evaluate the impact of climate change on ROS events, climate time series were analysed for the period 1961-2017 and a significant increasing trend in winter air temperature and decreasing trend in snow depth were...
Analysis of flood on Sázava River in February 1909
Jelínková, Karolína ; Šobr, Miroslav (advisor) ; Kašpárek, Ladislav (referee)
This Diploma Thesis deal with complex assessment of spring flood in 1909. In the theoretical part there are described types of floods. It focuses on rain-on-snow events together with melting of the snow and ice phenomena on streams. It also describe hydraulic models and especially in detail AquaLog model and its individual parts. The flood in 2006 which is compared to the event in 1909 is also described in more detail. In the historical archive there were found informations about flood in 1909 and because of them we know its area range. Next the flooding waves in Czech Republic were analized. The AquaLog model was used for basin of the river Sazava. Flooding waves were simulated for 9 stations in the whole basin using this model.
Frequency and trend analysis of rain-on-snow events at selected meteorological stations in the Czech Rebublic
Kakalejčík, Matej ; Jeníček, Michal (advisor) ; Blahušiaková, Andrea (referee)
Rain-on-snow events represent a natural hydro-meteorological phenomenon and their occurrence is often associated with floods. Due to the climate change occurrence, rain-on snow events are also changing. The main goal of diploma thesis is to define spatial and temporal occurrence of rain-on-snow events at 16 selected meteorological stations in the Czech Republic between the years 1966-2012. Spatial occurrence of rain-on-snow events is expressed by number of events per meteorological station. Final number of events varies widely even between the stations with similar altitude. Stations with the highest frequency of rain-on-snow events are located in Jizerské hory between 675 and 780 m a.s.l. Temporal occurrence of rain- on-snow events is expressed by number of events per year and month respectively. Time series of rain-on-snow events were analysed by statistical trends to gain information about changes in occurrence over time. Most of the stations proved no statistically significant trend. There was a trend detected only at four out of 16 stations. Three meteorological stations showed a rising trend, whereas one station signalled a decreasing trend. More complex results were produced by the trend analysis of monthly time series of rain-on snow events. Nine stations yielded at least one month with a...
