Description
Summary:Optical Engineering 44(4), 041011 (April 2005)UV index if solar measurements are restricted to SZAs smaller than 78 deg. The agreement for data products that are dominated by wave-lengths in the UV-B is generally worse, but can be substantially improved if GUV instruments are equipped with an additional channel at 313 nm. GUV total column ozone values agree on average to within 65 % with observations from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA’s) total ozone mapping spectrometer (TOMS) on board the earth probe satellite. GUV data products are disseminated via the website www.biospherical.com/NSF in near real time. © 2005 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.
