W opracowaniu scharakteryzowano przebieg warunków pogodowych podczas XXVI Wyprawy Polarnej Uniwersytetu Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej na Spitsbergen. Pomiary wykonywano od 8 lipca do 1 września 2014 roku za pomocą automatycznej stacji meteorologicznej zainstalowanej w Calypsobyen (Bellsund, Svalbard). Analizie poddano temperaturę i wilgotność względną powietrza na wysokości 200 cm nad powierzchnią gruntu (n.p.g.), temperaturę powietrza przy gruncie (5 cm n.p.g.) oraz prędkość i kierunek wiatru. Uzyskane wyniki zostały porównanie z danymi, dla okresu wspólnego, z dwudziestu sezonów pomiarowych z lat 1986-2011 tj. od 10 lipca do 25 sierpnia.

Arctic is an area which rapidly react on the changes in environment. The weather conditions react the most quickly and determine other changes in geosystem. That is why the meteorology is the subject not only for meteorologist and climatologist but also for other researchers (like geomorphologists, hydrologists) and makes the background for their research in polar region. The region of Wedel Jarlsberg Land (western coast of Spitsbergen) has been a field of taking research by scientist from the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University (Lublin) for almost 30 years. Meteorological observations were carried out since 1986. At the beginning, measurements were taken every 3 or 6 hours. Since 1999 measurements have been doing by automatic stations taking measurements with 10 minutes time step (144 times per day). The aim of this paper is to present course of meteorological conditions during the XXVI Expe-dition of UMCS to Spitsbergen in 2014 on the background of multiyear 1986-2011. The station was located on Calypsostranda, a flat sea terrace, at the height of about 23 m a. s. l., at a distance of 200 m from Bellsund Fjord and 2 km from the Scott Glacier. The substratum was made of dry lichen-moss tundra. In 2014, the meteorological investigation began on 8th July and ended on 1st September. The mean daily air temperature at the altitude of 200 cm amounted to 5.9°C throughout the measurement period. The highest mean daily temperature (8.4°C) was recorded twice: the 23rd July and 4th August. The lowest mean daily temperature (3.1°C) was recorded the 31st August. Mean daily air temperature at the altitude of 5 cm also amounted to 5.9°C. The highest temperatures are recorded around 12 UTC, and the lowest just before midnight. In the 5-18 UTC temperature at 5 cm is higher than the temperature at 200 cm. The highest maximum temperature at the altitude of 200 cm (12.2°C) and at the altitude of 5 cm (14.0°C) was recorded the 4th August. Minimum temperature at the altitude of 200 cm (1.5°C) was recorded the 27th August and at the altitude of 5 cm (-1.7°C) the 25th August. The mean daily relative humidity at a height of 200 cm above the ground amounted to 85% and only twice (4th and 24th August), the humidity dropped below 60%, which was associated with the presence of foehn from the East. For the whole measurement period, the total precipitation amounted to 38.6 mm. 17 days with a precipitation ≥ 0.1 mm were observed (which means that rainfall occurred in 30% of the days). The highest rainfall amounted to 9.6 mm and occurred on 10th July when the air temperature at the altitude of 200 cm decreased from 10.2 do 5.6°C and the weak south wind changed direction to the west, and his speed increased to more than 7 m∙sˉ¹. The mean wind speed was 3,6 m∙sˉ¹ throughout the season. To compare selected meteorological weather conditions of the summer season 2014 against the multiyear 1986-2011, based on data for the period that is common (10th July – 25th August). The mean daily air temperature in 2014 was up to 1.1°C higher than the average temperature of period 1986-2011. Only season of 2002 was characterized by higher average temperature (6.3°C). The sum of the 2014 season precipitation was lower than in multiyear. The mean daily wind speed of season 2014 was 3.6 m sˉ¹ and was lower only by 0.7 m ·sˉ¹ from the mean of multiyear. During the season 2014, the winds from W were dominated (25.7%), while its frequency in other seasons does not exceed 5-10%.
