Topics of interest in solar UV measurements Berit Kjeldstad Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway Gunther Seckmeyer University of Hanover, Germany

Contents  Combined action in UV measurements: EDUCE project  European UV data base  Quality assurance at the database  Climatology and Trends  Users requests for UV data

EDUCE European Database for Ultraviolet Radiation Climatology and Evaluation Coordinator: Prof. Dr. G. Seckmeyer (University of Hanover, Germany)

EDUCE is a continuation of research activities performed within SUVDAMA Scientific UV DAta MAnagement Participants Participants 16 contractors and 9 subcontractors from 15 European Countries Duration June 2000 – November 2003 Supported by European Commision Part of the Atmospheric UV Radiation (ATUV) cluster at the European Ozone Research Coordinating Unit

Objectives  To establish a UV climatology for Europe in combination with investigations into potential long-term changes in the UV radiation environment  To continue the collection and storage of UV radiation and ancillary data in the European UV database, providing a comprehensive database of measurements together with the software tools needed for efficient search and retrieval of data  To control and assess the quality of the data in the database  To develop, test and implement radiative transfer models, which are the primary tools in both the study of the UV environment and the quality assurance of the measurements

European Database for Ultraviolet Radiation Characterization and Evaluation (EDUCE) Institute for Meteorology and Climatology, University of Hannover, Germany Prof. G. Seckmeyer Project Management EDUCE: European Database for Ultraviolet Radiation Climatology and Evaluation Coordinator: Prof. Dr. G. Seckmeyer (University of Hanover, Germany)

The European UV Database contained in June 2003:  Data from 34 stations in Europe  measuring days  1,4 Million spectra  24 Gbyte from the submitted files  Available for everybody if you register at the EDUCE web page.

 Database WEB page Database WEB page Database WEB page  submission (flexstore format) extraction of spectra from all stations  BASINT BASINT software tool to explore the contents of the European UV Database and extract information on the ultraviolet spectral irradiance and (Erythemal dose rate) software tool to explore the contents of the European UV Database and extract information on the ultraviolet spectral irradiance and (Erythemal dose rate)  Reports Reports  Quality control of waveelength shifts, level of irradiance,spikes and spectral anormalities, transmission  Topographical maps  Metadama  site description 

QA at the database Back

Quality control at the database:  Colour flags indicate the quality:  GREEN spectra meet WMO/EDUCE criteria; no significant error found (normal range for transmission)  YELLOW small error / deviation identified  RED significant error / deviation identified (questionable use; or exceptional situation  BLACK bad quality (normally not retrieved; or extreme situation)  GREY no decisive result obtained (BLACK flags turn GREY at low irradiance (< W/(m 2 nm))

QUALITY FLAGGING SHICrivm software package RIVM  wavelength scale error => shift ( FLAG )  detection limit; lowest irradiance level => start_irradiance (FLAG)  spectral anomalies  spikes (correction of spikes with factor 2 relative shape errors possible) => spike+local_shape (FLAG)  distortion of spectra/variable conditions during scans  cloud effects => scan_variability_2 (indicator)  irradiance scale: cloud transmission spectrum trans_2 (FLAG)  clear sky (indication of extremely high or low values)  cloudy sky (cloud transmission estimate)  summary of quality parameters (statistics and colour flagging)  deconvolution, effective UV, common slit analysed spectrum (instrument intercomparison)

FLAGS: green, yellow,red,black  wavelength scale:  shift_ nm  shift_ nm ( nm) GREEN < 0.1 nm < YELLOW < 0.2 nm <RED <0.4 nm BLACK  start_irradiance_flag –GREEN< W/(m2 nm) <YELLOW < < RED < < BLACK  spike+local_shape_flag –model and measured (ratio two nearby irradiances)  transmission_2 (325 – 400 nm) –model clear sky and measured –GREEN ratio clear sky/measured (1.25 – 0.1)

Format of Analysis Extent of annual coverage : potential use Categorization of quality of overall dataset Calibration of instrument versus ET solar spectrum Distribution of flags in dataset

Overall results for shift_1: ( nm) 1 million spectra

Preliminary results on UV climatology Objective: To construct climatological UV maps from EDUCE database (LAP and RIVM) Additional information: TOMS data and Pyranometer data

Trend analyses – Two stations with 11 year of data Number of years needed to see a trend. Optimal wavelength to observe a trend

Number of years required for trend detection  Each point is an average of all analysed solar zenith angles

Results  Thessaloniki: After 15 years a UV increase due to an ozone trend of -4.5 % per decade should be detectable  Sodankylä: After 11 years at the earliest a UV increase due to an ozone trend of -5.7 % per decade should be detectable  Sodankylä: If there would had been such an ozone trend in the analysed period it would have been recognised in the UV time series.
