At three public universities: the University of Wrocław (2018), the Wrocław University of Science and Technology (2018) and the Wrocław University of Environmental Sciences (2018), there are three large faculties with the profile of Earth science, environmental engineering and management, the staff of which is involved with this subject-matter and in addition educate more than 3000 students. Independently, there are also active research institutes, including the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management – National Research Institute, Wrocław Branch, the primary research objective of which is the monitoring and study of the conditions of the environment, prediction of phenomena occurring in the environment, and management of systems of warning against extreme events (Institute of Meteorology and Water Management – National Research Institute 2018). In view of a strong need for scientific meetings, exchange of research experience and support for environmental activity, in February 2013 the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management – National Research Institute (IMWM-NRI) and the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences (WUELS) initiated cyclic meetings of scientists and students – an environmental seminar concerned with meteorology, hydrology, water management and mathematical modelling in environmental sciences. The Seminar, which from the start took place every month during the academic year, was meant also to provide subject-matter support for the newly created journal Meteorology, Hydrology and Water Management (first volume published in December 2013). The environmental seminar, started in 2013, was preceded by scientific meetings of two collaborating research entities – the Department of Regional Studies, IMWM-NRI, and the Department of Statistic, Faculty of Mathematics, WUELS, that took place in the years 2010-2012. During the period from February 2013 till February 2018, a total of 45 reports were presented at the Seminar. The titles of all the reports, together with the authors and their affiliations, are given below. 1. Structure of the rainfall-runoff operational model, W. Szalińska (IMWM-NRI, Wrocław), February 2013. 2. Processing of meteorological data (observed and forecasted) with preparation of entry to hydrological models, P. Struzik, I.

{"title":"The September 2017 flood in Elbląg (Poland) in perspective","authors":"R. Konieczny, I. Pińskwar, Z. Kundzewicz","doi":"10.26491/MHWM/92406","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26491/MHWM/92406","url":null,"abstract":"On the morning of 18 September 2017, the center of the city of Elbląg in northern Poland was inundated by the rapidly rising waters of the Kumiela River, resulting in considerable damage and chaos in the city. The present paper provides information about this event, which was caused by intense precipitation lasting two days. We put this individual event in perspective by examining the climate track in the observation and projection of flood hazard through analyzing changes in temperature, precipitation and intense precipitation. We also examine the non-climatic factors of flood risk, such as spatial development and river regulation. Further, we pose the question of whether actions aimed at flood risk reduction, predominantly by way of structural defenses in the catchment of the Kumiela River, really reduce the flood risk in Elbląg. We also offer more general remarks pertaining to flood risk reduction in Poland, primarily based on technical measures, and we unveil the shortcomings of the current flood risk management system in Poland. In the social consciousness, the structural flood defense strategy has become the norm of thinking in terms of methods for reducing the effects of floods in Poland, but this does not always contribute to reducing flood damage either locally or nationally. We refer to some good examples of preparedness for urban inundations caused by heavy precipitation in other cities.","PeriodicalId":42852,"journal":{"name":"Meteorology Hydrology and Water Management-Research and Operational Applications","volume":"104 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87707482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Causes of periodical rainfall distribution and long-term forecast of precipitation for Lankaran,\u0000Azerbaijan","authors":"A. S. Mammadov, R. Rajabov, N. Hasanova","doi":"10.26491/MHWM/89763","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26491/MHWM/89763","url":null,"abstract":"Irregular rainfall distribution is receiving considerable attention. The amount of rainfall for one region can account for 500-600 mm, sometimes 1000 mm. For example, in the year 1985, Zagtala in Azerbaijan received 716 mm of rainfall, while in 1988, 2004 and 2008 − 1 151, 1 306 and 661 mm, respectively, were measured. In Lankaran 2 061 mm were measured in 1982 and 470 mm in 1999. Generally, rainfall distribution differs across the Republic of Azerbaijan. In this study, the physical side of such variations was clarified. In relation to that, the movement speed of the atmosphere in regard of the rotation of the Earth was analyzed, showing that the difference in rainfall distribution, according to the time structure, is connected to the direction change of the atmospheric movement. Generally, the reasons for atmospheric movements cannot be identified as the rotation movement of the earth, mainly because both environments show different activities. While the processes happening in the atmosphere often change, influenced by the pressure gradient, the rotation movement of the earth is more stationary. We also evaluated the rainfall forecast method for the region Lankaran. Taking into account its simplicity, the Shuster method was used. Observation data was divided into stationary and casual elements. Selection of periodicals was determined by separation of long term meteorological data into harmonic functions. By accepting the variation, the coefficient casual item was added.","PeriodicalId":42852,"journal":{"name":"Meteorology Hydrology and Water Management-Research and Operational Applications","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82170264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
