(English) RNDr. Monika Cahynová: The influence of long-term changes of atmospheric circulation on observed trends of surface climatic elements in the Czech Republic and Europe The aim of this thesis is to quantify the links between recent atmospheric circulation changes over Europe and local surface climatic trends. We employ several parallel classifications of circulation types that were collected and developed within the COST733 Action "Harmonisation and Applications of Weather Types Classifications for European Regions". To our knowledge, such a comparative approach has not been used so far. Atmospheric circulation changes over Europe were studied in terms of changing seasonal frequency and persistence of daily circulation types in the second half of the 20th century. The extensive collection of both subjective and objective catalogues of circulation types in European regions from the COST733 Action served as a platform for comparison of different classification methods, varying numbers of circulation types, and spatial scale of circulation processes. The most prominent trend - winter increase in the number of days with westerly flow - clearly stems from the strengthening of the North Atlantic Oscillation. The objective classifications did not show any systematic change of persistence of...
