Abstract |
Spectral sky radiance measurements have been obtained with a double monochromator using a 1.5° field of view under varying atmospheric conditions at selected sites in Europe. Spatial variations of the intensity of the sky radiance up to a factor of 10 are observed in the UVA, which decrease to a factor of 2 in the UVB. A distinct minimum of the sky radiance is observed, the location depends on the solar zenith angle but not on wavelength. It is located at scattering angles between 90° and 75° for solar zenith angles between 80° and 26°. A comparison between measurements of the sky radiance and radiative transfer calculations with an aerosol free atmosphere shows a strong dependence of UVB sky radiance on aerosol particles in contrast to UVA sky radiance and possibly a dependence on tropospheric ozone as well.
