P. Wang et J. Lenoble, COMPARISON BETWEEN MEASUREMENTS AND MODELING OF UV-B IRRADIANCE FOR CLEAR-SKY - A CASE-STUDY, Applied optics, 33(18), 1994, pp. 3964-3971
We compare the UV-B global and direct irradiances computed with a radi
ative transfer model (discrete ordinate method) and measured during a
European intercomparison campaign in Greece in July 1991, with clear s
ky. The agreement between the model and the measurements is within 6%.
The sensitivity of the model to the accuracy of the input parameters
as well as the potential of modeling for instrument calibration is dis
cussed.
