INVESTIGATION ON THE INFLUENCE OF CLOUDS ON ULTRAVIOLET SKY RADIATION (AT 330 MILLIMICRONS AND 370 MILLIMICRONS.
Abstract
The spectral intensity of ultraviolet radiation from the cloudless and the cloudy sky at Davos (Swiss Alps, 1590 m a.s.1.) has been measured for lambda=330 millimicrons and 370 millimicrons. No effect of atmospheric ozone on the intensity must be taken into account at these wavelengths. The ratio q between the intensity obtained with and without clouds is applied in this investigation as a measure for the influence of the clouds on ultraviolet sky radiation; the values of the ratio q have been plotted as a function of solar altitude for various cloud conditions. Mean values q of the ratio q averaged over the whole interval of solar altitude have been determined for different kinds and amounts of cloud and the mean scatter R of the values q has been computed for each cloud condition considered.
