Long-term trends in strong winds in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Wind measurements (speeds and gusts) on meteorological stations are biased by different factors complicating to develop homogeneous long-term series. Statistical analysis of wind gusts in 1961 to 1990 is presented. Strong winds are divided on windstormsrelated to large horizontal pressure gradients and strong winds connected with convection (squall, tornado, downburst). Using PCA of mean sea level pressure field types of winter windstorms are analysed for the 20th century. Long term series of strong winds from the 16th century are produced using information from documentary evidence (narrative sources, visual daily weather observations, newspapers etc.). Trends in strong winds are analysed with respect to circulation characteristics (NAOI, CEZI) and winter temperatures in Central Europe. Climatology of tornadoes is presented with respect to their seasonality, spatial distribution, impacts and intensity according to Fujita scale.
