models and studies. Examples of such studies are by Hlavčová et al. (2004), Lapin<br />

et al. (2003 and 2009) and Šiška et al. (2009).<br />

AIR TEMPERATURE TRENDS AND VARIATIONS<br />

Air temperature is the most studied and the most important variable in the climate<br />

change considerations. More over, some other climatic elements depend<br />

physically clearly on changes in air temperature (soil and water temperature, air<br />

humidity, saturation deficit, air pressure, precipitation intensity etc.). Significant<br />

increase in global, hemispheric and regio<strong>na</strong>l mean temperatures started in the<br />

70th of the 20th century. This increase continued in spite of decreasing solar<br />
