- Climate dynamics and variability
- contemporary climate change
- atmospherical circulation, its variability and trends and influence on other meteorological elements in Europe and Poland;
- downscalling methods - climate projections at regional and local scale;
- extreme meteorological events;
- climate modelling;
- nonlinear processes in climate variability (application of the deterministic chaos theory);
- time series analysis (application of various statistical techniques: wavelet analysis, Fourier method, MESA, SSA);
- long term climate records;
- Urban climate
- micrometeorological studies at urban areas, in particular measurements of the energy balance and turbulent exchange of greenhouse gasses, CO2 and CH4 (open path Eddy correlation);
- turbulence studies with scintillometer at urbanized areas;
- measurements and statistical analysis of the singularities of the urban climate (urban heat island, urban radiation, humidity, wind field);
- numerical modelling of the urban climate (slab models of the urban energy balance, radiation processes in urban canyon);
- Boundary layer meteorology, micrometeorology and topoclimatology:
- energy balance and turbulent fluxes of CO2 and CH4 at natural (Biebrza National Park), agricultural, and urbanized areas;
- parameterizations of surface fluxes;
- Atmospheric radioactivity - Radon (Rn-222) in the air in Lodz and rural areas:
- meausrements of Rn-222 concentration in the atmosphere at a height of 2m above the ground;
- meteorological conditions of radon concentration in the air layer near the groundin an urban and rural areas;
- the impact of local and macroscale (Rn-222 transport of air masses) meteorological conditions on Rn-222 concentration levels in the lower troposphere.
