Pogody przymrozkowo-odwilżowe w rocznej strukturze stanów pogód Hornsundu (SW Spitsbergen) w latach 1980-2005

W pracy przedstawiono rolę pogód przejściowych, przymrozkowo-odwliżowych w rocznej strukturze stanów pogód w Hornsundzie. Pogody przejściowe, to te które związane są z przejściem temperatury powietrza przez 0°C w trakcie doby. Opracowanie wykonano w oparciu o dane opublikowane w rocznikach meteorologicznych wydanych przez IMGW w Gdyni i Instytut Geofizyki PAN.

This work is trying to define the function of transitional, frosty-thaw weathers in the region of Polish Polar Station IG PAN in Hornsund. The material used was the data Publisher in the meteorological yearbooks by IMGW (Institute of Meteorology and Water Management) in Gdynia and Instytut Geofizyki PAN (Institute of Geophysics of the Polish Academy Science). They are the standard data of the sea-sonal observations. The data collection is not complete since there are the data from 1981/82 (from July 1981 to June 1982) and June and July1982. In Hornsund the transitional, frosty-thaw weathers can be observed during the year. These weathers are characterized by the fact that the mean daily temperature is higher or lower than 0°C and the mini-mum temperature is lower and maximum daily temperature is higher than 0°C. Conditions allowing the air to pass through 0°C and causing transitional frosty-thaw type of weather is transfering atmospheric fronts of air or advection of air masses. Dislocation of atmospheric fronts and advection of air masses permit temperatures to pass trough 0°C. The region of Polish Polar Sta-tion IG PAN in Hornsund is particularly predisposed to these types of weathers due to the intensive cyclonic activity.
