Correlation between Increases of the Annual Global Solar Radiation and the Ground Albedo Solar Radiation due to Desertification—A Possible Factor Contributing to Climatic Change

Background: This study investigates the connection between annual global solar radiation and ground albedo solar radiation due to desertification in line with previous research on the correlation between climatic changes and desertification. Methods: A simulation study was performed using an algorithm formulated by the authors and the typical albedo coefficient values of forested ground, green ...

Surface Uv-flux Estimation from Gome : Impact of Wavelength Dependent Effective Albedo

The surface albedo is the ratio between the upward irradiance, reflected from the ground, and the downward irradiance. It is an important parameter in the climate system, since it determines to a large extent the Earth radiation budget. The ground albedo often refers to the average reflectivity over the whole wavelength range of solar radiation. Investigation of the surface influence on radiati...

Solar ultraviolet radiation on the ground level of Isfahan

Introduction: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation affects human organs such as skin, eyes and immune system, as well as animals and plants. The main natural source of UV radiation is the Sun. To study the effects of solar UV radiation there is a need to quantify variations of solar energy received on the earth surface at different intervals. Materials and Methods: To measure UV radiation a broadband fib...
