“…The most susceptible to changes in water temperature are polymictic lakes (Gardno, àebsko, and Jamno), with small mean depths and water masses mixing many times during the year. All three lakes have specific hydrological systems, heavily dependent on local characteristics, as emphasised by CieĞliĔski and Major (2012). Even so, their direct connection with the Baltic Sea (inflows of marine waters with their different physicochemical properties) and other elements (contact of the shorelines with peatlands, considerable thicknesses of sediments) are not decisive factors in modifying the thermal characteristics of those lakes.…”

A b s t r a c tThis paper presents the effect of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) on the thermal characteristics of lakes in Poland. In the analysis, the use was made of monthly air temperatures recorded at fifteen meteorological stations, water temperatures of twelve lakes, and Hurrell's winter NAO indices. Over the study period , there was a marked increase in the temperatures of both, air and lake waters. Depending on the NAO phase, water temperatures were observed to depart from mean values, being markedly higher than average (even by 1°C) in the positive winter NAO phase. The differences in water temperatures were statistically significant in the winter-spring season. In turn, in the negative NAO DJFM phase lake water temperatures in winter and spring were markedly lower than average (in March even by 1.0°C). The unique response of some lakes depends on their morphometric parameters, including their mean depth.

“…Taking into account the modified chemical classification of groundwater according to Shchukarev-Priklonskiy [37] for the averaged data from 2022 [36], it can be concluded that out of 11 analyzed observation points (PQ-4, PQ-5, PQ-7, PQ-9, P-23A, P-28, P-33, P-35, P-36, P-51/2, P-53), 9 different types of water were found. These waters ranged from triionic (e.g., HCO 3 -SO 4 -Ca in P-33 and SO 4 -HCO 3 -Na in P-35) to complex pentaionic (SO 4 -HCO 3 -Ca-Na-Fe in P-28 and HCO 3 -SO 4 -Cl-Ca-Fe in P-36).…”

Groundwater quality assessment in the region of potential pollution sources can be performed through the use of index-based methods. The aim of this paper was to present the results of the groundwater quality assessment in the region of the zinc smelter in Miasteczko Śląskie (southern Poland) for the Quaternary aquifer based on monitoring data from 2000, 2011, and 2022. The following parameters were used in the analysis: Pb, Cd, Ni, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn. Three indices were calculated, i.e., the landfill water pollution index (LWPI), heavy metal pollution index (HPI), and metal index (MI). The values of the indicators suggest that in the described study area, there are waters that are under the strong influence of the zinc smelter infrastructure and landfills. The highest values obtained are about 17 for LWPI, about 66 for HPI, and about 133 for MI. These values indicate significant anthropogenic pollution of the groundwater of the Quaternary aquifer in the study area. Taking into account the values obtained for all three indices, it can be concluded that the HPI indicator is the least reliable due to the need to select two limit values (background and ideal content in waters for each of the parameters), which would suggest that in some cases, waters are not very contaminated. The other two indices show similarities (mainly in their spatial distribution), and only the choice of parameters determines which of the indices should be used. A comparison of the results of local groundwater quality monitoring with the results of the calculated indices indicate that the values of the calculated MI indices are closest to the actual water quality status.

“…To counteract this, there is a pressing need for comprehensive spatio-temporal data on water quality within these ecosystems to establish a dependable and integrated database 25 . Most research on the ecosystems of the lakes on the southern Baltic coast since the 20 th century has focused on the hydrology and hydrochemistry of the three largest lakes, Łebsko, Gardno, and Jamno 15 , 26 – 28 . In addition, several multidisciplinary studies have examined Lake Gardno 29 and the lakes Gardno, Dołgie Małe, Dołgie Wielkie, and Łebsko 30 .…”

We present a unique data set of selected physicochemical parameters characterizing the environment of the Baltic coastal lakes within Polish borders. The peculiarity of the system derives principally from the interaction of the lakes with a sea of relatively low salinity. In contrast to our best understanding of the state of biological knowledge, the abiotic parameters of coastal lakes along the southern Baltic Sea have never previously been so comprehensively supplemented. The database consists of physicochemical properties of 13 coastal lakes based on the analytical assessment of 419 water samples collected seasonally between 2014 and 2019. Water properties were analyzed according to the connection of the lakes to the Baltic Sea using a total of 23 predictors. The lakes were classified as closed, intermittently connected, or open. Based on the physicochemical data, a relationship between the hydrological connection between the lakes and the sea was determined. The data collected could be used to monitor ongoing global climate change at the biosphere level.
