RISAn Algorithm for Inferring Surface UV Irradiance Including Cloud Effects
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent extratropical ozone depletion and the concomitant increase in surface ultraviolet (UV) radiation may be expected to adversely influence the biosphere. Since few long-term, high quality datasets of surface UV are ...
Using a Parameterization of a Radiative Transfer Model to Build High-Resolution Maps of Typical Clear-Sky UV Index in Catalonia, Spain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To perform a climatic analysis of the annual UV index (UVI) variations in Catalonia, Spain (northeast of the Iberian Peninsula), a new simple parameterization scheme is presented based on a multilayer radiative transfer ...
Spectral UV Measurements of Global Irradiance, Solar Radiance, and Actinic Flux in New Zealand: Intercomparison between Instruments and Model Calculations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Presented here are the results of a short but intense measurement campaign at Lauder, New Zealand, in which spectral irradiance from instruments operated by the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) ...
New Spectroradiometers Complying with the NDSC Standards
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The investigation of the effect of solar ultraviolet (UV) and visible radiation on biological organisms and photochemical reactions requires spectral measurements of the desired radiation parameters of high accuracy. The ...
Calibrating Broadband UV Instruments: Ozone and Solar Zenith Angle Dependence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A UV spectroradiometer was installed at Mauna Loa Observatory (MLO), Hawaii, in July 1995. This instrument has been employed to characterize several broadband UV instruments of a type commonly used to estimate erythemal ...
