Abstract:

Two Monte Carlo algorithms for calculation of the intensity of the solar UV flux on the Earth surface, namely, direct simulation and local estimation in the inverse scheme, are analyzed comparatively. The flux intensity is calculated for various optical and geometrical conditions of observation. The efficiency of each algorithm is estimated. The comparison shows that the method of local estimation in the inverse scheme is more expedient for calculation of solar UV flux intensity on the Earth's surface.
