Final result at the surface

At the bottom of the atmosphere is the Earth s surface, which is neither flat nor uniform and has its own influences on the irradiance it receives. The two major properties of the surface that affect the UV irradiance are the elevation and the albedo (reflectivity). [Pg.37]

which is a permanent feature at high mountain sites and polar regions, and a seasonal feature at high latitudes and moderate mountain regions, is highly reflective in the UV. Radiation that is reflected from the Earth s surface becomes another source of radiation in the atmosphere and is subject to the same [Pg.37]

The effect of albedo on UVR is not dependent only on the albedo of the surface in the immediate vicinity of the location of interest, but on the albedo of the whole surrounding area, so unless the area is homogenous estimating the albedo, and so its influence, can be difficult. [Pg.39]
