CHASE-PL Climate Projection dataset over Poland - bias adjustment of EURO-CORDEX simulations

TL;DR: The CHASE-PL (Climate change impact assessment for selected sectors in Poland) Climate Projections - Gridded Daily Precipitation and Temperature dataset 5'km (CPLCP-GDPT5) as discussed by the authors consists of projected daily minimum and maximum air temperatures and precipitation totals of nine EURO-CORDEX regional climate model outputs bias corrected and downscaled to a 5'k'km grid.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes of snow cover in Poland

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined variability of characteristics of snow cover (snow cover depth, number of days with snow cover and dates of beginning and end of the snow cover) in Poland using a set of 43 long time series of observation records from the stations in Poland, from 1952 to 2013.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heat-related mortality during hot summers in Polish cities

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate a likely number of additional fatalities in ten largest cities in Poland, recorded during heat waves in particularly hot summer seasons, and also for a longer interval including next 30 days after the end of the last sub-wave.
Journal ArticleDOI

Climatological drivers of changes in flood hazard in Germany

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that climate change is one main driver responsible for the increasing number of floods in Germany and that growing trends in flood prone circulation pattern and heavy precipitation are significant in many regions of Germany over a multidecade interval and this can be translated into the rise of flood hazard and flood risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes of temperature-related agroclimatic indices in Poland

TL;DR: In this article, changes in seven temperature-related agroclimatic indices (lengths of the growing season and of the frost-free season, days of occurrence of the last spring frost and of first autumn frost) in Poland in 1951-2010 are examined.
