Standardisation of Data From Ultraviolet Radiation Detectors

A.R. Webb (INVITED)

The measurement of ultraviolet radiation (UVR), and particularly solar UVR, poses a technical challenge that has not been entirely solved. There are several families of UVR detector, from the complex spectrodiameter to the simple to use dosemeter, and there is no standard detector even within a given family of instruments. Added to this, the basic standard sources of spectral irradiance used for calibration are non-standard to an undesirable degree. With no clear reference standard (source or instrument) against which to compare a detector much of the work towards standardising UVR data resulting from the different measurement facilities has been through intercomparisons and consensus (if a majority of instruments agree within acceptable limits they are deemed to represent the standard). The improvements in standardisation that have resulted from such intercomparisons are discussed for spectroradiometers and broadband radiometers.
