Towards closure between measured and modelled UV under clear skies at four diverse sites
The purpose of this work is determine the extent of closure between measurements and models of UV irradiances at diverse sites using state of the art instruments, models, and the best available data as inputs to the models. These include information about aerosol optical depth (unfortunately not extending down as far into the UVB region as desirable because such information is not generally ava...
متن کاملTesting avian compass calibration: comparative experiments with diurnal and nocturnal passerine migrants in South Sweden
Cue-conflict experiments were performed to study the compass calibration of one predominantly diurnal migrant, the dunnock (Prunella modularis), and two species of nocturnal passerine migrants, the sedge warbler (Acrocephalus schoenobaenus), and the European robin (Erithacus rubecula) during autumn migration in South Sweden. The birds' orientation was recorded in circular cages under natural cl...
متن کاملUltraviolet Sky Radiance Distributions of Translucent Overcast Skies
The diffuse sky radiation component in the ultraviolet wavelengths is often at least 50% of the global irradiance under clear skies, and is the dominant component of ultraviolet global radiation under translucent overcast skies. The distribution of sky radiance was measured in a rural area and modeled for wavelength bands of ultraviolet-B (UVB, 280-320 nm) and ultraviolet-A (UVA, 320-400 nm). S...
متن کاملDistributions of Direct, Reflected, and Diffuse Irradiance for Ocular UV Exposure at Different Solar Elevation Angles
To analyze intensities of ocular exposure to direct (Eo,dir), reflected (Eo,refl), and diffuse (Eo,diff) ultraviolet (UV) irradiance at different solar elevation angles (SEAs), a rotating manikin and dual-detector spectrometer were used to monitor the intensity of ocular exposure to UV irradiation (Eo) and ambient UV radiation (UVR) under clear skies in Sanya, China. Eo,dir was derived as the d...
متن کاملLIFE IN MARTIAN SNOWS – MEASUREMENTS OF UV PROTECTION UNDER NATURAL ANTARCTIC SNOWS IN THE UVC (254 nm)
Introduction: Ultraviolet radiation down to 195 nm penetrates to the surface of the Martian north polar ice cap during the polar summer on account of the lack of an ozone column, in contrast to the Earth where only radiation above ~290 nm penetrates to the surface (except under ozone depletion, when radiation down to ~280 nm may penetrate). During the winter, spring and fall some ozone producti...
