Ground Based Measurements of Solar UV Index in Tabriz
Introduction: Ultraviolet index (UVI) is a dimensionless scale, which describes the maximum intensity and biologic effects of UV during a specific time, on surface of the earth. The UVI is an international standard measurement of the strength of sunburn producing ultraviolet radiation at a particular place and time. This index is an easy and understandable concept for pr...
متن کاملComparison of Ground-Based and Satellite-Derived Solar UV Index Levels at Six South African Sites
South Africa has been measuring the ground-based solar UV index for more than two decades at six sites to raise awareness about the impacts of the solar UV index on human health. This paper is an exploratory study based on comparison with satellite UV index measurements from the OMI/AURA experiment. Relative UV index differences between ground-based and satellite-derived data ranged from 0 to 4...
متن کاملComparison of OMI ozone and UV irradiance data with ground-based measurements at two French sites
Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), launched in July 2004, is dedicated to the monitoring of the Earth’s ozone, air quality and climate. OMI is the successor of the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) instruments and provides among other atmospheric and radiometric quantities the total column of ozone (TOC), the surface ultraviolet (UV) irradiance at several wavelengths, the erythemal dose r...
متن کاملValidity and use of the UV index: report from the UVI working group, Schloss Hohenkammer, Germany, 5-7 December 2011.
The adequacy of the UV Index (UVI), a simple measure of ambient solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation, has been questioned on the basis of recent scientific data on the importance of vitamin D for human health, the mutagenic capacity of radiation in the UVA wavelength, and limitations in the behavioral impact of the UVI as a public awareness tool. A working group convened by ICNIRP and WHO met to as...
متن کاملGround Based Rainfall Measurements at the NASA Wallops Flight Facility
The rainfall measurements collected at the NASA Wallops Flight Facility during the first 4 months of 2001 were analyzed to study the small-scale variability of rainfall and to evaluate the instruments performance with respect to each other. The instrument platform included impact and optical type disdrometers, tipping bucket rain gauges, and sonic anemometers. An X-band polarametric (X-POL) rad...
