The climate of Slupsk

86%
This study is an attempt to provide a comprehensive and synthetic characterisation of Słupsk climate based on a homogeneous series of daily measurements covering the longest possible period. Apart from the temperature and precipitation profiles derived from a 58-year examination record (1950-2007), the climate analysis also presents the distribution of other key weather components (atmospheric pressure, wind, relative humidity and cloud cover) in a shorter (1991-2007) time-span. The paper, which is a summary of the existing research into Słupsk climate, is directed not only at geographers (for whom it may be a significant reference in research concerning weather conditions in other Polish towns), but also at local residents and tourists, who choose Słupsk as their holiday destination.
The main aim of the paper is to present general information about hydro-meteorological conditions in the catchment of the Łebsko Lake. In the first part of the article a short description of the most important hydrographic elements of the investigated area (the Łebsko Lake, the Łeba River and its tributaries) was provided. The climatic analysis of local conditions, besides the characteristics of the air temperature and precipitation, contains the distribution of other principal meteorological elements (pressure, wind, cloud cover or relative humidity). The paper is a part of broader studies aimed at finding the key factors determining seasonal and annual changes of water relations in the catchment of the Łebsko Lake.

The climate of Łeba

72%
Quickly developing tourist infrastructure of Łeba, including the needs of the city as a health resort and a perfect place for holiday at any time of the year, requires an elaboration of the comprehen-sive climatic characteristics. Taking into consideration the needs of the typical holiday makers and people with respiratory, circulatory and rheumatic diseases or metabolic disorders, elaboration of an appropriate description of the local climatic conditions in one of the most often visited spa on the Polish sea coast is more and more crucial. Daily meteorological data from the IMGW weather station in Łeba for the period 1986-2005 were the basis for this paper. The climatological analysis, besides the characteristics of the air tempera- ture and precipitation, includes the distribution of other principal meteorological elements (pres-sure, wind, sunshine hours, cloudiness, relative humidity) and the frequency of weather phenom-ena (fogs, storms).
Ecteinascidia thurstoni is a colonial sea squirt. It has a seasonal rhythm and a tropical and subtropical distribution; it is usually present during the summer months. It synthesizes a group of molecules called ecteinascidins. One of these is ET-743, a compound that has a most original anti-tumoral activity and is today considered to be one of the most promising substances effective against various solid-type tumors (currently sold under the trade name of Yondelis for the treatment of sarcomas and related tumors; it is undergoing phase II/III clinical trails for other kinds of tumors). Worldwide, Ecteinascidia species represent the only available source of this bioactive compound, which was first discovered in E. turbinata. During the present study, the ecology of E. thurstoni along the Suez Canal and Red Sea was investigated. Its populations were observed to be highly gregarious due in part to their low larval dispersal, which is very localized; larvae therefore tend to settle close to their parent colonies. It is only recorded in shallow waters (0.5–1.5 m) as an epiphyte on the pneumatophores of mangroves by the Red Sea, on the pilings of jetties, and the metal or cement banks of the Suez Canal. The morphometric characteristics (zooid length, zooid weight, colony weight) of the Suez Canal population differ significantly from those of the Red Sea. Studying the distribution of this species and locating its different populations along the Suez Canal and Red Sea could help to characterize their genetics, chemistry and bacterial communities at different isolated locations. Ultimately, this will help to define the sources of ET-743 and hence promote its biosynthesis on a commercial scale.
European chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) is one of the most known trees occurring in Europe. Therefore history of spread of the species on this continent is a subject of interest of many authors. At present this species is naturalized in southern and middle Europe. In Poland it is often cultivated in parks, gardens but it has not been treated as a permanent element of the Polish flora so far. The closest localities, where it is naturalized, are in Czech and middle Germany. In the years 2000–2005 spontaneous spread of the species on the Baltic coast in urban sites (town of Łeba, 54°45’N, 17° 33’E) was observed, where its population amounts to one hundred of individuals dispersed up to 600 m. This is the first locality of Castanea sativa in Poland, where it occurs spontaneously. This finding would probably enable to move the border of European chestnut range in Europe towards northern-eastern direction by several hundreds kilometers.
The present publication describes a condition, way and level of tourist development and tourist movements of Rowy, a holiday resort. The analysis includes selected elements of tourist management such as accommodation, gastronomic and supplementary facilities. Size and frequency of tourist movements and social and demographic structures of tourists will be presented on the basis of measurements’ results of tourists resting on the Rowy’s beach. The pares also includes geographic range of Rowy’s influence.
The results of an eight-year study undertaken in years 1999-2006 on Sciomyzidae of the saline habitats of the Polish coast are reported. In the paper, 12 species, among which 9 are new for beaches and brackish areas of the coastal type, are presented. Besides this, similarity of types of habitats, dominance structure and phenology of Sciomyzidae in the sampling plots are discussed.
A population of Mya arenaria was studied in the Polish coastal zone (up to 3 nautical miles) of the Baltic Sea in the open coast of Polish Middle Pomerania. Abundance, wet biomass, and the frequency of Mya were determined in the coastal waters, including estuaries of the Parseta, Wieprza, Słupia, Łupawa, and Łeba rivers and Władysławowo. The frequency (F) of Mya in the open coast of the Middle Pomerania amounted to 19.5%. The abundance of Mya, in the coastal zone surveyed, ranged from 0 to 265 specimens per m2 of the bottom (x¯ = 10.4 spec. m–2). Wet biomass of this bivalve ranged from 0 to 25.52 gww m-2 (x¯ = 1.56 gww m-2). Apparently Mya arenaria has found better conditions for living and development in the central of the Middle Pomerania coast. The abundance of this mollusc in the estuary of Słupia (Ustka) was 100-fold higher than in the estuary of Wieprza (Darłowo) and Łupawa (Rowy) and the wet weight was 11-fold higher, respectively. Mya arenaria plays an important role in the monitoring of benthos of the Baltic Sea, constitutes a food base of animals (fish), and takes part in the process of purification of waters of the coast stretch studied (biofiltration, biosedimentation).
Utilization of various amino acids and carbohydrates by heterotrophic bacteria isolated from a sandy beach in Sopot, Poland, southern Baltic Sea coast, was determined. The most intensive growth of bacteria was observed in the presence of amino acids, while carbohydrates were utilized less actively. Differences in the utilization of individual amino acids and carbohydrates by bacteria have been determined. The highest capability to assimilate amino acids and carbohydrates was observed in bacterial strains isolated from the middle part of the studied beach. No major differences were determined in the intensity of assimilation of the tested compounds by bacteria isolated from the surface and subsurface sand layers. Bacterial utilization of amino acids and carbohydrates depended on the chemical structure of those compounds.
On December 26th, 2004, a tsunami hit the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand, leaving bimodal tsunami deposits in the coastal zone. Granite boulders and sandy tsunami deposits were investigated near Thap Lamu Navy Base in Phang Nga Province, Thailand. Boulders (< 2.5m³) were mostly scattered close to a tidal inlet on a flat plain elevated 1-2m above the high tide water level, reaching up to 140m inland. Most boulders had oyster shell remnants over their surface, which suggests that they were dragged from the nearby shore. The tsunami also brought a sheet of medium to coarse grained sand, with thickness ranging from a few mm up to 37cm. The distribution of deposits was mainly controlled by the existing topography. Another group of granite boulders was found between 150 and 300m from the coastline, at elevations of 2m and more. Their size reached 5.5m³. This second group of boulders may have been transported by an ancient tsunami.

Berner cascade impactor was used to study urban aerosols in two localities of the Pomeranian macro-region Słupsk and Hel in autumn at different weather conditions. The range of aerodynamic diameters between 0.009 and 8.11 mm were separated. Elementary composition for each diameter was obtained in a complex procedure consisting of laser ablation of deposits then their successive ionization in inductively coupled plasma generator and finally mass selection in a quadrupole spectrometer. The chemical element analysis method proofs to be quick and versatile, allowing to identify different sources of air pollution, natural, industrial and due to the road traffic.
There have been very few quantitative studies of the intertidal and shallow water biota of the Andaman Coast of Thailand and thus it was very difficult to provide precise estimates of the impact of the tsunami on coastal resources. Some quantitative data from Laem Son National Park existed, having been collected by the present authors, and these indicated that the most severe impacts were on the intertidal sand beach fauna, on rocky shore assemblages and on the seaward edge of mangrove forests. Inside the forests there was heavy deposition of coarse sediment on the forest floor and this led to changes in the species composition of the infauna. Most, but not all, sea grass beds escaped serious damage. By 2008 intertidal sediment assemblages contained a similar number of individuals to that recorded before the tsunami. Pre-tsunami data indicate that open coast, estuarine and seagrasses assemblages are naturally highly variable and thus were well adapted to recovering from the tsunami disturbance. Offshore sediments lack pre-tsunami information, but they too appear to be normal. Size frequency analysis of a population of the heart urchin Brissopsis luzonicus indicate that some individuals survived the tsunami but that there is heavy domination by the first post-tsunami cohort suggesting heavy colonization of disturbed seafloor. The trees in the seaward fringe of the most exposed mangrove forests still have to recover from tsunami damage, although the benthic fauna within the forest has returned.
The study was conducted in the region of Pomerania in North Poland (Człuchów Forest) 85 km south-east from the coast of the Baltic Sea, in the growing season (April–October) 2001–2002. Using collectors with artificial leaves of known surface areas (2, 4 and 6 m² m⁻²), the aerosol-gaseous input was determinated in addition to element input into standard rain collectors. It was found, that input of Ca²⁺ was the highest (mean 772 g ha⁻¹ month⁻¹), followed by N-NH₄⁺, S-SO₄²⁻, Cl⁻, N-NO₃⁻, Na⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺ and P-PO₄³⁻, while the input of H⁺ was the lowest (mean 5g ha⁻¹ month⁻¹). The input of great majority of elements clearly increased with surface area of the artificial leaves (Na⁺, N-NH₄⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺, Cl⁻, N-NO₃⁻, S-SO₄²). In general, with the increase of artificial leaves area from 0 to 10 m² m⁻² (Q₁₀ index), the rise of input varied from 1.72 (S-SO₄²⁻) to 2.26 (Cl⁻). The process did not take places only for Ca²⁺, P-PO₄³⁻, H+, atmospheric water, and dust. These tendencies occurred in both two years of studies, and the differences of the results were small. Atmospheric input of elements in the Człuchów Forest was relatively small comparing to other parts of Poland. As far as the aerosol-gaseous fraction of input was concerned, the greatest role had the elements related to aerosol of seawater origins, like chlorine, sodium and magnesium.
