Abstract

In maritime Antarctica, the cloudiness and total ozone content (TOC) are the most important factors affecting the incident solar UV radiation. The effects of the cloudiness and other atmospheric factors on the incident global UV and erythemally effective UV radiation were examined by nonlinear (hyperbolic) regression model. Both ground- and satellite-based TOC values were applied so that incorrect data of measured ozone concentration could be eliminated. The measurements of global solar, global UV radiation and erythemally effective UVB radiation have been carried out at the Vernadsky Station since 2002. Another measuring point was established at the Czech J.G.Mendel Station, James Ross Island in 2006. At both sites, the same instruments and methods were used for data collection. The model parameters based on the cloudiness, TOC and 10-min UV radiation intensities were implemented for the final calculation of daily doses of solar UV radiation.
