Abstract
Five indices of thermal continentality were computed for 84 stations in Europe and shown in the
maps. The thermal continentality in Europe is spatially variable and increases eastward and southward from
the northwestern shores towards Asia. Continental features are distinct in the interior of the Iberian Peninsula
and in the northeastern part of the Scandinavian Peninsula, despite their small distance from the Atlantic
Ocean. Most continentality indices (Chromow’s, Ewert’s, Conrad’s, Johansson-Ringleb’s) reveal a similar spatial
pattern of thermal continentality in Europe, and they allow the continent to be divided into a western and
eastern part along meridian 20–25°E. Marsz’s index, which takes into consideration the level of oceanity, indicates
a narrow zone along the northwestern shore as oceanic and the remaining part of Europe as continental.
