Continentality of climate over Europe
Hudek, Jakub ; Holtanová, Eva (advisor) ; Kliegrová, Stanislava (referee)
In present work the continentality of climate over Europe is studied. Attention is given to its basic characteristics, geographic distribution and its dependences on latitude and longitude. Firstly basic terms such as annual air temperature amplitude, thermal continentality and corresponding indices that characterize it are described. Attention is paid to the geographic distribution of continental indices for two reference periods (1951 - 1980 and 1981 - 2010) and the differences between them. The dependences of individual indices on latitude and longitude in order to capture in greater detail their properties are also studied. The results have shown that there has been considerable change of continentality between these periods in most of Europe's territory, which is described in detail in this work.
Climate continentality with regard to radiational and circulational factors
Janušková, Miriam ; Sládek, Ivan (advisor) ; Míková, Taťána (referee)
This thesis' topics are measurements of climate's continentality and evaluations of relations between various indexes of thermic and ombric continentalities. All indexes are plotted on continentality maps of Europe created using the ArcGIS application. Important part of the thesis consists of practical validation of relevancy of the new method for measuring degree of continentality based on research of phase shift (delay) of annual temperature diagram in relation to the sum of extraterrestrial radiation. This thesis deals mainly with the proof of closest relation between newly purposed index of thermic continentality and the pre-existing ombric indexes in comparison to the indexes of thermic continentality currently in use. Furthermore the thesis dwells into explanations of causes for territorial differences in new continentality index values related to circulatory and radiatory ratios of the Indian summer subseason. By examining the newly purposed index of thermic continentality in various latitudes it was determined that this method for measuring continentality is not applicable for several areas of subtropical zone where the temperature diagram is not majorly effected by solar radiation but instead by other factors. Therefore the results of this thesis include cartographic representation of the...
