Summary: | Abstract. Since the discovery of the ozone depletion in Antarctic and the globally declining trend of stratospheric ozone concentration, public and scienti®c concern has been raised in the last decades. A very important consequence of this fact is the increased broadband and spectral UV radiation in the environment and the biological e€ects and heath risks that may take place in the near future. The absence of widespread measurements of this radiometric ¯ux has lead to the development and use of alternative estimation procedures such as the parametric approaches. Parametric models compute the radiant energy using available atmospheric parameters. Some parametric models compute the global solar irradiance at surface level by addition of its direct beam and di€use components. In |
