In July 2011, measurements were taken of selected meteorological elements in the central part of the Łeba Sandbar in the Słowiński National Park. On the basis of the results of measurements performed at five points located on a salient land form in close proximity to the seashore, a thermal and humidity characteristics of this form were determined for a twenty-four hour period. The results of measurements obtained from an automatic weather station located in an open area, near the measurement points on the coastal sand dune, were used as information on the atmospheric conditions predominant in the standard area (flat area covered by grass). The research analysis was performed for the entire measurement period and for days with radiational weather. The authors also determined the dependence between air temperature and humidity values observed over the analysed land form and the values of weather elements measured over the standard area. key worDs: air temperature, relative humidity, correlation, regressive analysis, salient land form, Łeba Sandbar, Słow-iński National Park

Long-term water temperature fluctuations in coastal rivers (southern Baltic) in Poland

“…This specificity attracts the interest of researchers from various fields of science. Research conducted there concerns geomorphological issues (Mazurek 2010;Major 2011;Kostrzewski et al 2015) and climatic issues (Świątek 2011;Kolendowicz and Forycka-Ławniczak 2013;Tomczyk and Bednorz 2014), among others. Papers concerning rivers and lakes located in the southern coastal belt of the Baltic Sea are abundant (Siwek et al 2001;Ficek et al 2011;Obolewski and Glińska-Lewczuk 2013;Szpikowski et al 2015;Woszczyk 2016).…”
