Empirical estimation of ultraviolet radiation intensity in the atmosphere
Keywords:
ultraviolet radiation, solar radiation, water vapor, ozone, visibility dataAbstract
This research aims to estimate ultraviolet intensity values using mathematical models. Ultraviolet intensity data obtained at a wavelength of 290-390 nm, along with global solar radiation and climate data on cloudless days from four Thai monitoring stations, were analyzed. Among them are Chiang Mai, Ubon Ratchathani, Bangkok, and Songkhla. The models were created using data from 2017 to 2019. According to the collected data, the model was validated using 2020 data on a cloudless day. It was found that the intensity of ultraviolet radiation was related to the ratio of solar radiation intensity at the Earth's surface to extraterrestrial solar radiation intensity and the cosine of the zenith angle. In addition, the intensity of ultraviolet radiation is related to water vapor, ozone content, and visibility data. All of which can show mathematical relationships. The validation results of the model mentioned above revealed reasonable agreement between the models with a positive correlation with one another. According to the results, all data are not significantly different at the 0.05 level.
