研究目的
To provide the accurate parameterization for different types of biologically active radiation for the estimation of UV level at different altitudes taking into account the generalized altitude dependence of different geophysical parameters.
研究成果
The proposed parameterization accurately estimates the altitude UV amplification for different types of biologically active UV radiation, with a mean uncertainty of 1% and standard deviation of 3%. It effectively accounts for the altitude dependence of molecular number density, ozone content, aerosol loading, and surface albedo. The method shows good agreement with accurate RT model simulations and experimental data, making it useful for applications in on-line UV tools and downscaling results from global chemistry-climate models.
研究不足
The study does not account for 3D effects in mountainous terrain and relies on generalized altitude dependencies of geophysical parameters, which may not capture local variations. The accuracy of the parameterization is limited by the uncertainty in input geophysical parameters, especially at high altitudes.
