GUV total ozone column and effective cloud transmittance from three Norwegian sites 1995-2019

Total ozone column (TOC) and effective cloud transmittance (eCLT) from GUV-511 in Oslo (Norway), GUV-541 from Andøya/Tromsø (Norway), and GUV-541 from Ny-Ålesund (Svalbard, Norway).

Responsible institute: NILU - Norwegian Institute for Air Research
Collaborative institute: Norwegian Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority, DSA

Method described in: Dahlback, A. (1996), Measurements of biologically effective UV doses, total ozone abundances, and cloud effects with multichannel, moderate bandwidth filter instruments, Appl. Opt. 35, 6514–6521

1h average noon-time values, based on data with 1-minute time resolution.

TOC retrievals from 305/320 nm channel ratio
eCLT retrievals from 340 nm channel 

Calibrations based on the FARIN2005-campaign and annual site visits with a travelling reference GUV instrument from DSA (https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2007JD009731)
