Gi. Kuznetsov et Io. Kurbanov, THE INFLUENCE OF VOLCANO ERUPTIONS ON SPE CTRAL ULTRAVIOLET ALBEDO OFTHE ATMOSPHERE, Izvestia Akademii nauk. Rossijskaa akademia nauk. Fizika atmosfery iokeana, 31(1), 1995, pp. 133-137
Influence of ozone and aerosol variations after eruption of El Chichon
and Pinatubo on UV albedo is considered. An improved two-stream model
is used to calculate upward flux (albedo) of UV radiation, The main r
esult of calculations is the existence of a distinct maximum in upward
flux values at about lambda = 306 - 308 nm. This maximum is shifted t
o longer lambda with years passed after eruption. The model calculatio
ns are in good agreement with SBUV experimental observations of UV alb
edo after El Chichon eruption.
