Theoretical variations of solar ultraviolet radiation and comparison with spectral measurements

Abstract

The need for the determination of ultraviolet radiation that reaches the surface requires the study of its transfer through the atmosphere. For this aim, theoretical models and instruments have been developed in order to calculate and measure respectively the UV levels. The object of this thesis is the detailed study of the UV radiative transfer in atmosphere. The relative theory and the modern perceptions for the way that the major atmospheric parameters (ozone, clouds etc) influence UV radiation are presented. Tropospheric Ultraviolet and Visible (TUV) radiative transfer model is presented in detail, including the model input parameters and the level of agreement that can be achieved when model calculations are compared with measurements. The effect of aerosol single scattering albedo (ω) in UV radiation is examined. The theory and the results of a novel method to the value of ω using Brewer’s spectral measurements are presented in detail. Also, the effect of change of the vertical d ...
