Visual meteorological observations as indicators of climate changes, derived from long-term time series of the Potsdam station
On the basis of the visual meteorological observations at the Potsdam station for the "type of precipitation" (period 1893-2000) and the "cloud coverage" (1894-2000) it is shown that such subjectively registered values have a strong connection with measured parameters. Moreover t...

| description | On the basis of the visual meteorological observations at the Potsdam station for the "type of precipitation" (period 1893-2000) and the "cloud coverage" (1894-2000) it is shown that such subjectively registered values have a strong connection with measured parameters. Moreover they reflect climate changes very well. A main result is the fact that in summer a clear decrease in advective precipitation can be observed combined with an increase in convective precipitation. This development is accompanied by a change in the daily course of the cloud cover. Anhand der meteorologischen Augenbeobachtungen an der Station Potsdam fÜr den Niederschlagstyp (Zeitraum 1893-2000) und den Bedeckungsgrad (1894-2000) wird gezeigt, dass solche subjektiv erfassten Größen in enger Verbindung mit Messgrößen stehen. Ausserdem spiegeln sie KlimaÄnderungen gut wieder. Wichtigstes Ergebnis ist die Tatsache, dass im Sommer eine deutliche Abnahme des advektiven Niederschlags bei gleichzeitiger Zunahme des konvektiven Niederschlags beobachtet wird. Diese Entwicklung geht einher mit einer Änderung im Tagesgang der Bewölkung. |
