General information and objectives

The final goal is to establish tested and standardized UV-B radiation forecasts for public information in Europe. To achieve this goal a number of steps have to be taken. They can be summarized as follows:
  • To provide the necessary input data for the UV forecasting with a quality relevant forpublic information.

  • To test and to optimize models for the calculation of UV radiation near the surface.

  • To implement a validation of forecasted ozone amounts by high quality ground based ozone measurements and/or by satellite data.

  • To improve the methods to include cloudiness in UV forecasts.

  • To implement a validation of the final product for public information.

  • To follow the WMO/WHO (World Health Organization) recommendations concerning issuing the final product for public information.
