Scientific paper

The paper presents statistical results obtained in the analysis of long-term series of meteorological observations of temperature, wind speed and wind direction, and daylight length that were measured in the period 1964-2009 at the SHMI Meteorological Observatory located at the Lomnický štít mountain peak. In relation to these meteorological data, the contribution also presents statistical results for time scales of various types of solar prominence and solar corona observations at the Lomnický štít Astronomical Observatory in the period 1980-2009. The obtained results were used to characterize the observatory from meteorological perspective presenting mainly the range and quality of observing conditions suitable for solar activity observations. The results show that observing conditions allow for observation of prominences in approximately one third of the days in a year, and observation of the emission corona in approximately one fifth of the days in a year. The contribution also documents the use of the obtained results in preparation of new post-focal instruments for solar corona monitoring, i. e. the coronal multipolarimeter (COMP-S) that is at present under construction. Effects of local warming of the Earth's atmosphere are tested in a statistical analysis of the meteorological data collected in the period 1964-2009. In this period, a marked local warming occured at Lomnický štít with increases in the minimal daily temperature 0.90°C and maximal daily temperature 1.84°C, and the mean value of these quantities raising by 1.21°C.
