Zusammenfassung |
Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are efficient tools to derive solar UV
radiation from measured meteorological parameters such as global radiation,
aerosol optical depths and atmospheric column ozone. The ANN model has been
tested with different combinations of data from the two sites Potsdam and
Lindenberg, and used to reconstruct solar UV radiation at eight European
sites by more than 100 years into the past. Special emphasis will be given
to the discussion of small-scale characteristics of input data to the ANN
model.
Annual totals of UV radiation derived from reconstructed daily UV values
reflect interannual variations and long-term patterns that are compatible
with variabilities and changes of measured input data, in particular global
dimming by about 1980/1990, subsequent global brightening, volcanic eruption
effects such as that of Mt. Pinatubo, and the long-term ozone decline since
the 1970s. Patterns of annual erythemal UV radiation are very similar at
sites located at latitudes close to each other, but different patterns occur
between UV radiation at sites in different latitude regions. |
