Abstract

The present study aims to validate different approachesfor the estimation of three photobiological effectivedoses: the erythemal UV, the Vitamin D and that forDNA damage, using high temporal resolution surfacebasedmeasurements of solar UV from 2005-2015. Datafrom a UV spectrophotometer, a multi-filter radiometer,and a UV radiation pyranometer that are located inThessaloniki, Greece are used together with empiricalrelations, algorithms and models in order to calculatethe desired quantities. In addition to the surface-baseddose retrievals, OMI/Aura and the combinedSCIAMACHY/Envisat and GOME/MetopA satelliteproducts are also used in order to assess the accuracy ofeach method for deriving the photobiological doses.
