Abstract:

The analysis of temporal variations of erythemal ultraviolet radiation (EUVR) in Irkutsk is given on the basis of data of satellite measurements of solar EUVR using TOMS instrument (Nimbus-7, Earth Probe) processed by means of a specially developed complex of programs over the periods 1979-1992 and 1996-2003. Results of the analysis of the long-term homogeneous measurement series carried out and processed by unified techniques enable us to establish climatic norms of variations of different time scales (interseasonal, interannual, within a cycle of solar activity). The possible reasons of the observed temporal variations of near-ground EUVR in Irkutsk are discussed.
