This chapter includes the results of the earliest studies on changes and variability of climatic elements, bioclimatic indices and weather types across Poland. The first pioneering works on climatic studies were presented (since 1858), even if they did not relate to climate change.

Global solar radiation data were analysed at 10 actinometric stations located in different regions of Poland for the period from 19 (Sosnowiec) to 125 years (Kraków; data partially reconstructed). Only series with the data gaps not exceeding 5% were considered. The most important results of the study of changes in solar radiation in Poland are as f...

The measurement of sunshine duration in Cracow is one of the oldest in the world as a heliograph was installed here in June 1883, whereas a regular sunshine duration recording in the world had not begun until 1882 and even then it was still merely in 10 sites in the northern hemisphere, only half of which were located in Europe. The aim of this stu...

The studies on the contemporary climate fluctuations seldom analyze the multi-annual qualitative changes of cloudiness, although many authors emphasize the necessity of undertaking nephological research which is indispensable to know, model, and monitor the climate. There are hypotheses that in various regions of the world an increase of frequency...

Cracow's series of nephological observations is unique in Europe. Neither the place of observations nor the methods of estimation of the degree of cloud cover nor the definition of cloud genera have changed significantly for about one hundred years. The paper presents therefore the database on cloudiness in Cracow and its possible applications on b...

Apart from total cloudiness, cloud genera considerably influence radiation conditions in local scale as well as the daily air temperature course. The paper presents air temperature course during the occurrence of particular cloud genera and during the cloudless days, on the example of climatological data from Cracow. The analysis shows that the lea...

The paper aimed at determining the relation between air temperature, cloudiness and precipitation in Krakow. Meteorological data from the period 1901-2000 was used. It was found that the mean yearly air temperature shows constant growth, induced both by natural and anthropogenic factors. Climate warming in Kraków probably resulted in more frequent...

Zachmurzenie uważane jest za jeden z ważniejszych elementów meteorologicznych, jednak obserwowanie chmur, rozpoznawanie, a następnie opisywanie i analiza sprawiają pewne trudności. Stosunki nefologiczne należą do zjawisk jakościowych, które charakteryzuje nieciągłość czasowa i przestrzenna, a ich zasięg często bywa lokalny. Nie istnieje przyrząd, k...

Niepokojącym symptomem we współczesnej literaturze naukowej jest wprowadzanie dowolnej terminologii, co powoduje, że w publikacjach używane są pojęcia, które przez różnych autorów rozumiane są inaczej. Zjawisko to dotyczy przede wszystkim nauk interdyscyplinarnych. Terminologia z zakresu promieniowania pochodzi z wielu dyscyplin i często te same te...
