“…In Poland, as well as elsewhere in Europe, increasing trends in sunshine duration (e.g. Norris & Wild, 2007;Sanchez-Lorenzo, 2015;Bartoszek et al, 2021;Marsz et al, 2022) and in air temperature (e.g. Hoy et al, 2016;Sippel et al, 2016;Ustrnul et al, 2021;Kejna & Rudzki, 2021) have been observed in the last 40 years.…”

“…Yet another view is presented by Sutton and Dong (2012) as well as Marsz and Styszyńska (2019), who claim that the increase in sunshine duration and warming in Europe is largely determined by changes in the thermal state of the World Ocean Waters (von Schuckmann et al, 2020). Moreover, Marsz et al (2022) suggested that long-term variability in sunshine duration over Central Europe was due to changes in the annual frequency of macrotypes of the middle-tropospheric circulation and the variability in the surface component of the thermohaline circulation in the North Atlantic (NA THC). The influence of atmospheric circulation on changes in spatial variability of air temperature in Poland was shown, e.g.…”

The aim of the paper is to characterize the trends of sunshine duration (SDU) and air temperature in Poland, which may help understand the mechanism of contemporary climate change. The daily totals of SDU and daily data on air temperature from the years 1971-2020, from 25 synoptic stations in Poland are the basic source data. The series of records of the two variables showed that the points of change in the level of stabilization of the value of SDU and air temperature are close to each other, and confirm known in the literature “global dimming” and “global brightening” periods. The linear regression model confirmed that sunshine duration explains well the variability of, and increase in day-time air temperature in Poland in the warm part of the year.

Photosynthetically active solar radiation (PSR) – solar radiation within the wavelength range of 380 ¼710 nm – forms a basis of plants' life that determines their photosynthesis. No measurements of photosynthetically active solar radiation (PSR) take place in Ukraine due to the lack of standard devices. Direct, scattered and total PSR is calculated via transition measurements and coefficients, whereas total PSR is measured via sunshine duration – using the indirect method. The purpose of the research is to determine PSR and its dynamics during specific months and the warm period of the year (April-October). The components of the radiation regime within the network of actinometric and meteorological observations in Ukraine for 1986 - 2015, 1986 - 1995, 1996 - 2005, 2006 - 2015 were obtained using mathematical statistics and climatological methods. In the course of the research changes in the PSR during specific months and the warm period over specific decades were determined. During the months of the warm period over 1986 -2015, direct, diffused, total PSR and total PSR calculated via sunshine duration tend to increase from the west, northwest or Ukrainian Carpathians to the southern steppe zone and Crimea. During the warm period over 1986 - 1995, the amount of direct PSR varies within 472 ¼ 891 MJ/m², diffused radiation – 887 ¼ 1156 MJ/m², total radiation – 1457 … 1917 MJ/m², total PSR calculated based on sunshine duration – 1621 … 2056 MJ/m²; over 1996 - 2005 the amount of direct PSR varies within – 469 … 1030 MJ/m², diffused – 802 … 1004 MJ / m², total – 1305 … 1973 MJ/m², total PSR calculated based on sunshine duration – 1654 … 2192 MJ/m²; over 2006 - 2015 the amount of direct PSR varies within 485 ¼ 1065 MJ/m², diffused radiation – 737 ¼ 951 MJ / m², total PSR – 1270 … 1977 MJ / m², total PSR calculated based on sunshine duration – 1649 … 2233 MJ / m². The increase in integrated direct solar radiation over 1996 - 2005 compared to 1986 - 1995, as well as over 2006 - 2015 compared to 1996 - 2005, led to an increase in direct PSR; the decrease in diffused solar radiation led to a decrease in diffused PSR; and ambiguous changes in the components of total solar radiation led to fluctuations in total PSR; increase in sunshine duration is accompanied by an increase in total PSR calculated based on sunshine duration. The research is relevant due to the factor of modern climate variability at the global and regional levels. The study of PSR changes is an urgent task of modern agrometeorology. It enables long-term effective planning of agricultural development.

“…Since an increase in SD is the cause of an increase in temperature, the question is what process led to the change in SD. Research by Marsz et al (2022) showed that changes in the intensity of the North Atlantic thermohaline circulation (NA THC) controlled changes in solar radiation in Central europe by regulating the course of the processes of the middle and lower circulation. The intensity of NA THC is characterised by the index defined by the acronym DG 3L .…”

The paper presents effects of changes in climatic elements in the Greater Poland region (Poland), their causes and consequences for shaping the water balance of this area, copying with the most severe water deficit in Poland. The study period covers 70 years (1951–2020). The research identified an abrupt and significant change in the climate of Greater Poland, which started between 1987 and 1989, concerning not only air temperature but also a wider spectrum of climatic elements. The change in the state of the climate, which covers the entire Atlantic-Eurasian circulation sector, re-sults from a sudden change in the macro-circulation conditions in the middle troposphere (500 hPa). The reason for the change in the mid-tropospheric circulation is an equally abrupt and simultaneous change in the intensity of the ocean heat transport by the North Atlantic thermohaline circulation (NA THC). Climate change observed in Greater Poland is manifested in an increase in sunshine duration (SD) and air temperature, a decrease in relative humidity, a change in the cloud structure, and an increase in the degree of sky coverage. The main, physical reason for an increase in air tempera-ture is a rapid and strong increase in SD in the warm half-years, which began after 1988, and a significant increase in the frequency of positive North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) phases in winters. The ongoing climate change entails various effects, among which the most important is considered to be hydrological consequences. The water balance of Greater Poland is becoming increasingly unfavourable, mainly as a result of a rapid increase in field evaporation.
