The Meteorological Synthesizing Centre-West (MSC-W) of the European Monitoring and
Evaluation Programme (EMEP) has been performing model calculations in support of the …

The libRadtran software package is a suite of tools for radiative transfer calculations in the
Earth's atmosphere. Its main tool is the uvspec program. It may be used to compute …

The Photochemical Activity and Ultraviolet Radiation (PAUR) II project (a continuation of an
earlier PAUR I project) had the purpose of studying the interrelationships between changes …

Ecosystem-level UV-B experiments have revealed a variety of responses in terrestrial
communities. These include decreases in the growth of some plant species (usually small …

The Sun has played a major role in the development of life on Earth. In Western culture,
people are warned against Sun exposure because of its adverse effects: erythema …

This paper describes the CityChem extension of the Eulerian urban dispersion model
EPISODE. The development of the CityChem extension was driven by the need to apply the …

This paper extends the theoretical analysis of the estimation of the surface UV irradiance
from satellite ozone and reflectivity data from a clear‐sky case to a cloudy atmosphere and …

Measurements of aerosol optical properties (aerosol optical depth, scattering and
backscattering coefficients) have been conducted at two ground-based sites in Northern …

In recent years, estimates of UV radiation at the Earth's surface have been obtained from
satellite retrievals. These retrievals have been compared with ground‐based measurements …

Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) was applied to zonal mean daily Aerosol Index (AI)
values derived from satellite observations during 1979–2003 to search for self‐similarity …
