Effect of Macrophysical Parameters of Clouds on Broadband Solar Radiation (295-2800 nm) at a Subtropical Location

The present study describes the effect of clouds(macro-physical parameters) on global solar radiation(G).Data from four years of hourly measurements of G on a horizontal surface were used.These data were collected at the South Valley University(SVU) meteorological research station(26.2°N,32.7°E,96 m above mean see level.In addition,the cloud modification factor for G(CMFG) was estimated in three cases:high-level,mid-level,and low-level clouds.For every level,the variation of hourly CMFG as a function of cloud amount(CA) was illustrated.A third-order polynomial between hourly values of CMFG and CA was established.Furthermore,the effect of CA in the attenuation of G relative to its corresponding value in cloudless conditions is discussed.For cloud cover > 88%,G was reduced by 54%,34%,and 28% by low-,mid-,and high-level clouds,respectively.     

Differential UVB‐sensitivities of five New Zealand freshwater zooplankton species

Abstract

The ultraviolet (UV) sensitivity of five species of freshwater zooplankton (three Cladocera, two Copepoda) were investigated. The animals were exposed to varying levels of UV‐radiation in a sunshine‐simulator and the UV doses for 10 and 50% mortality (LD₁₀, LD₅₀) were estimated using a dose‐response model. To place these doses in context they were compared with modelled clear‐sky surface UV irradiances in New Zealand. The cladocerans Daphnia carinata and Ceriodaphnia dubia were sensitive to levels of UVB irradiance of LD₁₀ = 18–25 kJ m^?2 and LD₅₀ = 35–37 kJ m^?2. These sensitivities are consistent with published values for other cladocera. In contrast a third cladoceran, Bosmina meridionalis, exhibited no higher mortality over the full range of the cumulative UVB‐doses used (3–40 kJ m^?2) than controls receiving no UV exposure. The copepod Boeckella delicata showed the highest UV‐sensitivity of all organisms tested (LD10 = 7 kJ m^?2, LD50 = 33 kJ m^?2) whereas for Boeckella triarticulata, which was more heavily pigmented than B. delicata, no UV‐induced mortality was observed. Under natural conditions UV irradiances of up to 100 kJ m^?2 day^?1 can fall on the surface of New Zealand lakes. Although this is attenuated in natural waters, these data suggest that UVB irradiance may be a significant ecological variable to some zooplankton species.

到达中国陆面的生物有效紫外线辐射强度分布

随着大气臭氧层的日趋变薄,估算到达陆面的太阳紫外线辐射变化,评估对人体健康的影响日趋成为环境健康研究的一个重要课题。基于DISORT辐射传输模型,从生物健康效应的角度提出了估算陆面有效紫外线辐射强度的方法,并采用LibRadtran软件包UVSPEC模型以及GIS空间分析技术模拟了2000年1月和7月到达中国陆面的生物有效紫外线辐射强度空间分布,讨论了臭氧、云量、地表反照率等因素对陆面生物有效紫外线辐射强度的影响,研究了基于云量、海拔数据修正陆面紫外线辐射的方法。另外,还系统分析了2000年1月、7月我国陆面生物有效紫外线辐射强度的空间分布特征,1月份辐射强度是低纬度较高,而7月份是中高纬度较高。UVA和UVB陆面辐射强度分布明显不同,特别是7月份,UVB辐射强度的高值区域较UVA明显偏向低纬度地区。UVB的生物有效辐射强度大约是UVA的6倍。     

Statistical Relationship Between UVB(280-320nm) and Broadband Solar Radiation(295-2800nm) at a Subtropical Location(Qena,Egypt)

The present study quantifies the relationship between ultraviolet-B(UVB) and broadband solar radiation(G) at Qena,Egypt.Data from 10-year hourly integrated totals for both UVB and G on a horizontal surface were used to determine the best fit between the two radiation types.On the basis of the correlation of determination(r2),a second-order polynomial was determined to provide the best fit.For the purpose of developing an empirical model to estimate UVB,all of the cases of UVB and G from a nine-year study from 2001 to 2009 were introduced.Monthly and seasonal empirical models,as well as a general expression,were established for UVB as a function of G.The values of r2 ranged from 0.90 to 0.97.By using a new dataset of G,the estimated and the corresponding measured values of UVB were determined to be in good agreement whereby the values of r2 between the two ranged from 0.91 to 0.98.In addition,the significance and performance of the regression forms were evaluated with the aid of several statistical analysis procedures.The values of the index of modeling(d) and coefficient of modeling efficiency(ME) were close to one.Moreover,the values of RMSE,mean bias error(MBE),and mean absolute error(MAE) were lower than the experimental errors.On the basis of this analysis,it has been determined that the suggested regression forms can be used to estimate UVB when it difficult to obtain measurements or when measurements are available only for limited periods at the studied region.     

Effect of The Atmosphere on UVB Radiation Reaching The Earth’s Surface:Dependence on Solar Zenith Angle

The atmosphere protects humans,plants,animals,and microorganisms from damaging doses of ultraviolet-B(UVB) solar radiation(280-320 nm) because it modifies the UVB reaching the Earth’s surface.This modification is a function of the solar radiation’s path length through the atmosphere and the amount of each attenuator along the path length.The path length is determined by solar zenith angle(SZA).The present work explains the dependence of hemispherical transmittance of UVB on SZA.The database used consists of five years of hourly UVB and global solar radiation measurements.From 2001 to 2005,the South Valley University(SVU) meteorological research station(26.20°N,32.75°E) carried out these measurements on a horizontal surface.In addition,the corresponding extraterrestrial UVB(UVBext) and broadband solar radiation(Gext) were estimated.Consequently,the hemispherical transmittance of UVB(KtUVB) and the hemispherical transmittance of global solar radiation(Kt) were estimated.Furthermore,the UVB redaction due to the atmosphere was evaluated.An analysis of the dependence between KtUVB and SZA at different ranges of Kt was performed.A functional dependence between KtUVB and SZA(KtUVB=-a(SZA)+b) for very narrow Kt-ranges(width of ranges was 0.01) was developed.The results are discussed,and the sensitivity of △KtUVB to △SZA for very narrow Kt-ranges was studied.It was found that the sensitivity of △KtUVB to △SZA slightly increases with increased Kt,which means KtUVB is sensitive to SZA as Kt increases.The maximum correlation(R) between KtUVB and SZA was equal to-0.83 for Kt= 0.76.
