Ultraviolet radiation data from the high-Arctic ASCOS expedition 2008

Jussi Paatero

Incoming and outgoing ultraviolet radiation was measured by a semi-portable sensor with a NILU-UV multiband filter-radiometer. This was sometime located at the top of the port container on the 7th deck of the Icebreaker Oden and sometime carried out on the ice floe and mounted on a tripod. The instrument has five channels with nominal center wavelengths at 305, 313, 320, 340, and 380 nm, and an additional channel (400-700 nm) for the measurement of photosynthetically active radiation. The data is provided as average and maximum daily dose rate and the daily dose.

Data description

ASCOS expedition 2008, Erythermal UV radiation,
measured with a NILU-UV multibandfilterradiometer (MBFR, NILU Products AS, Norway).
The instrument has five channels with nominal center wavelengths at 305, 313, 320, 340, and 380 nm, and an additional channel (400-700 nm) for the measurement of photosynthetically active radiation. Instrument location: icebreaker Oden, 7th deck, on the roof of the meteorological/sounding container.
