“…In addition, there is no exact definition of HWs in terms of type of datasets used. Thus, many definitions could apply to HWs that quantify the duration and/or intensity of either nighttime minimum or daytime maximum temperatures as well as both of them or mean daily temperature [1,3,35,37,38,67,68]. Most papers referring to HWs use the aforementioned definitions, but some of them consider data sets only for a few months of the year (usually June-August or April-September).…”

Synoptic Conditions Generating Heat Waves and Warm Spells in Romania

Abstract:Heat waves and warm spells are extreme meteorological events that generate a significant number of casualties in temperate regions, as well as outside of temperate regions. For the purpose of this paper, heat waves and warm spells were identified based on daily maximum temperatures recorded at 27 weather stations located in Romania over a 55-year period . The intensity threshold was the 90th percentile, and the length of an event was of minimum three consecutive days. We analyzed 111 heat wave and warm spell events totaling 423 days. The classification of synoptic conditions was based on daily reanalysis at three geopotential levels and on the online version of a backward trajectories model. The main findings are that there are two major types of genetic conditions. These were identified as: (i) radiative heat waves and warm spells (type A) generated by warming the air mass due to high amounts of radiation which was found dominant in warm season; and (ii) advective heat waves and warm spells (type B) generated mainly by warm air mass advection which prevails in winter and transition seasons. These major types consist of two and three sub-types, respectively. The results could become a useful tool for weather forecasters in order to better predict the occurrence of heat waves and warm spells.

“…In turn, three heat waves occurred in the city area, but they were not recorded in the Poznań-Ławica station. These were the waves of 2008 (30 May-3 June), 2009 (29 June-4 July) and 2011 (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8). Across the city, the longest heat wave was recorded in August 2015.…”

Abstract:The aim of the study was to characterise the occurrence of hot days and heat waves in Poznań in the 1966-2015 period, as well as to describe the thermal conditions in the city during selected heat waves between 2008 and 2015. The basis of the study was the daily maximum and minimum air temperature values for Poznań-Ławica station from 1966-2015 and the daily values of air temperature from eight measuring points located in the city in various land types from 2008 to 2015. A hot day was defined as a day with T max above the 95th annual percentile (from 1966 to 2015), while a heat wave was assumed to be at least five consecutive hot days. The research study conducted shows the increase of T max , number of hot days and frequency of heat waves in Poznań over the last 50 years. Across the area of the city (differentiation of urban area types according to Urban Atlas 2012), there was a great diversity of thermal conditions during the heat waves analysed.

Several indices, with focus on extreme climate and bioclimate events have been calculated and their trends (over 1961 to 2014) analyzed in order to identify possible changes in temperature-related climate extremes over Vojvodina region, Northern Serbia. Physiologically equivalent temperature (PET) has been used for the assessment of bioclimatological extremes in Vojvodina. A number of indices for temperature extremes have been defined by CLIVAR (Climate Variability and Predictability) and they are modified in order to detect extremes in bioclimatological variables (PET). In this study, we used 11 PET indices. The results indicate that the whole area is dominated by significant increase in the frequency of warm conditions and significant decrease in the cold conditions. These results could indicate that the warming in Vojvodina could be due to the more pronounced and higher frequency of warm bioclimatological extreme conditions. The frequency and the duration of heat waves are increasing for the whole area, while the decrease in number and duration of cold waves is not so pronounced.
