The Relationship between the Ultraviolet Radiation and Meteorological Factors and Atmospheric Turbidity: Part II. Role of Surface Albedo

We analyze the interrelation between variations in the surface ultraviolet radiation in the wavelength range 280–320 nm and the state of the underlying surface. This is done using a homogeneous time series of measurements of UV–B radiation at the Tropospheric Ozone Research (TOR) station of the Institute of Atmospheric Optics, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, the atmospheric infrared sounder (AIRS) data on columnar ozone, ground-based aerosol optical depth (AOD) measurements from the AERONET network, and data on cloud cover available from the Institute of Monitoring of Climatic and Ecological Systems, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences (IMCES SB RAS) meteorological site for 2004–2016.
