TOMS-derived erythemal irradiance versus measurements at the stations of the Argentine UV Monitoring Network ...
The major factors causing differences between satellite-derived and ground-based ultraviolet (UV) erythemal irradiances and doses are discussed. Measurements totaling more than 4700 days during 1997–1999 were obtained at 8 stations (22°S–64°S) of the Argentine UV Monitoring Network. The satellite re...
