Abstract:
Using data of satellite (Earth Probe TOMS) measurements of erythemal ultraviolet radiation (EUVR) we analyze the global and regional (for Russia) spatial distribution of EUVR. An examination of the EUVR distribution in the territory of Russia reveals mesoscale inhomogeneities of EUVR fields depending on the region and season under consideration. We discuss the competing contribution from meteorological (cloud cover, aerosols) and other factors of influence on EUVR in the effects observed. Generally the EUVR fields are produced under the influence of many atmospheric factors, whose distribution can be affected by orographic conditions, the degree of continentality, circulation processes, and physical-geographic characteristics of the region.
