2005-2006 NSF Network Operations Report
This report is one of a series of operations reports of the NSF Office of Polar
Program's UV Spectroradiometer Network. It complements Volume 15 data from the years
2005-2006.
Section 1
is an introduction and executive summary.
Section 2
provides a detailed description of the instrumentation deployed at the network
sites, including specifications of SUV-100, SUV-150B, and GUV radiometers, as well as
information on operational requirements, ancillary sensors, calibration equipment, and system control software.
Section 3
describes each of the network sites.
Section 4
discusses spectral measurements routinely performed by the network instruments,
and the methods to process final data from the instrument’s raw data.
Section 5
discusses the calibration standards used to process Volume 15 data for each site
and gives the results of the quality control procedures applied. Topics include
irradiance calibration, instrument stability, wavelength calibration, missing
data, and performance of GUV radiometers.
Section 6
describes the contents and format of the published data including the database structures.
Section 7
provides examples of network data for each of the sites including total column ozone,
noon-time UV levels, and daily doses; and discusses differences between the sites,
UV irradiance trends, and factors affecting UV radiation.
The Appendices
include errata, references, and code fragments for dose-rate calculations.
