Comparison of surface UV irradiance in mountainous regions derived from satellite observations and model calculations with ground-based measurements

Several UV data products derived from satellite measurements, 1-D and 3-D radiative transfer modeling are compared with high-quality ground-based measurements. Data products include the UV index, erythemally weighted daily dose and spectrally resolved UV irradiances at 305, 310, 324 and 380 nm. The...
