precipitation - Opis:
- In the polar area, the precipitation is a component of one of the most important processes connected with the glacier mass balance ? accumulation and ablation. In this case particular signifi-cance is attributed to the height of the precipitation for a month of a cool season. The aim of this study is to examine the long-term variability of the atmospheric precipitation in Hornsund by the analysis of the monthly, seasonal and annual sums of precipitation and the sums of the precipitation for the accumulation season. Moreover, the long-term variability of the frequency of the days with precipitation (>= 0.0 mm), of the days with trace precipitation (= 0.0 mm), of the days with the precipitation >= 0.1 mm, >= 1.0 mm, >= 5.0 mm, >= 10.0 mm, >= 20.0 mm was discussed in the scale of the year, seasons and the accumulation period. The investigation of long-term variability of the precipitation in Hornsund that was carried out indicated that annual sums of precipitation amount to 421.7 mm. The annual sums of the precipitation are distinguished by the rising tendency showing up from the beginning of the measurement period to 1995. In the second half of the 90-ties, despite of high sums, annual precipitation is characterised by decreasing tendency that is connected with the low sums of precipitation in 1998. The highest part of annual precipitation falls in autumn and slightly less in summer. The lowest precipitation sums appear in spring. A slightly decreasing tendency is visible in the long-term course of spring precipitation. Both the autumn and the summer precipitation is characterised by the higher sums in the last decade of the 20th century than in the earlier period. Moreover, the autumn sums of precipitation are distin-guished by an increasing trend in the last decade of the 20th century while the course of summer precipitation shows the decreasing tendency from 1994. Taking into consideration the monthly values it was stated that September predominates in respect of the height of precipitation. High precipitation also occurs in August. The lowest sums of the monthly precipitation occur in the end of winter and in spring, with especially low sums in May and April. The long-term course of precipitation in particular months is diverse and exhibits specific features. The frequency of the days with defined thresholds of precipitation sums exhibits a great diversity of long-term course in the considered scales of time. The period in the turn of the 80-ties and 90-ties is interesting from the point of view of temporary variability of the frequency of precipitation. In this period the highest frequencies of the days with defined thresholds of precipitation sums often occured or the change of tendencies direction took place.
