Stan termiczny wód powierzchniowych Bałtyku a temperatura powietrza w Polsce

The influence of sea surface temperature (SST) changeability of the Baltic Sea on the monthly and seasonal air temperature in Poland has been examined here. Spatial variability of these correlations was analyzed in the period 1950-2009, and temporal changes - in the years 1854-2009. A significant influence of changes in SST of the Baltic on air temperature in Poland at the end of winter (February-March) and in the middle of summer (Juty-August) was indicated. The correlations between SST and the air temperature are stable both in space and time. In fact the same correlation coefficients are noted at particular stations both for 155-year and for 60-year periods.
