and specialized in horse breeding, collaborating with
Professor Roman Prawocheński (1877–1926), a renowned expert in this field. Stanisław was the editor of the racing news magazine "Wiadomości Wyścigowe" and the Secretary-General of the Society for the Encouragement of Horse Breeding in Poland, which purchased the land for the Tor wyścigów konnych Służewiec (Służewiec Racecourse) in Warsaw in 1925. After World War I, Professor Prawocheński sent him to Germany, where Stanisław met his future wife. Their eldest son, Janusz Haman (1923–2019), was born in Wiesbaden. The Haman family upbringing, primarily overseen by the mother, a graduate of the Sacré Coeur Sisters' Convent in Lviv, was strict. The family spent summers in Józefów near Otwock for the health benefits for the father and winters in Zakopane, where father Haman played naval battle games with

from power plants, as well as their temperature and humidity in comparison to the surrounding environment. These data were then compared with model predictions. Measurements were conducted using an aircraft equipped with an ATP-6 thermopsychrometer. Either a two-seat motor glider SZD-46 "Ogar" or a single-engine four-seat PZL-104 "Wilga" was used for the measurements. The measurements were recorded in analog form using onboard photo-recording oscillographs. One of the results indicated significant dynamic influences of the condensation trails on the surrounding atmosphere, manifested in temperature and humidity disturbances. The mechanism of these influences seemed to be associated either with the airflow over the trail as an obstacle or with vertical waves generated by the trail, often at a considerable altitude above it.

Krzysztof Haman participated in a "tropical" scientific expedition to Vietnam as part of this project. The research group was led by Roman Teisseyre (1929–2022), a young geophysicist at the time. The data collected during the expedition served as the basis for Haman's doctoral thesis (1962), focusing on an unusual atmospheric phenomenon he observed. He considered this work, among his numerous publications, to be his best, making a significant contribution to the field of geophysics.

In 1937, the family first lived at 3 Maja Avenue number 16, then at Aleja Niepodległości in Warsaw. This location was near the Mokotów Airport. After the Warsaw Uprising, their home on Aleja Niepodległości was partially destroyed by fire. Krzysztof Haman then lived temporarily with his mother near Pruszków, and later in Komorów.

stratocumulus cloud and the clear air above it. He states that the thickness of this layer is usually less than 20 meters. The work also discusses the phenomenon of descending currents, which can occur in this layer under certain conditions, but usually involve only a small part of the air in the mixing process. These currents typically lose their buoyancy quickly, and only some of them may penetrate deeper into the cloud, creating so-called cloud holes.

He observed that the mechanisms for enhancing local convective activity presented in his article could often occur in nature. He suggested that observations made by glider pilots, especially those equipped with GPS recorders, regarding local changes in cloud base heights and cloud tops, could be helpful in gaining a better understanding of these interactions.
