Influence of a number of factors on the level of solar UV radiation scattered by the ozonosphere
Abstract
Aspects of the numerical simulation of the transfer of solar UV radiation in the atmosphere are considered, and a quantitative assessment of the influence of various factors on the level of UV radiation scattered by the ozonosphere is presented. It is shown that the influence of multiple scattering processes on the level of scattered radiation is comparable with the influence of the temperature dependence of the ozone absorption coefficient, which attains a value of 12% at some wavelengths and for certain conditions of solar illumination of the atmosphere. The optimization of atmospheric models is examined with a view to determining the characteristics of the ozonosphere from satellite measurements of scattered radiation.
