Comparison of UV irradiance data from OMI with ground-based observations at the Chisinau (Kishinev) site, Moldova

Erythemal UV irradiance data obtained from ground-based observations are used for validation of the UV products from overpass nadir measurements performed with the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on-board the EOS Aura satellite platform. UV ground data were obtained with using of broadband radiome...
