Realization of remote UV radiometer with innovative spectral characteristic to measure the UV global irradiance in the range between 290 and 380 nm, operating in hostile environment.
The UV spectral measurement at ground it’s a diffuse method to determine the stratospheric ozone content. The main objective of the project was the assembling of the UV filter radiometer (named F-RAD) for the measurements of the Sun global irradiance at the Mario Zucchelli Station (MZS), Terranova Bay, Antarctica.
The main parts of the instruments are: the entrance radiation optical system, the filters selecting the wavelength of interest and the control system, hardware and software, governing all the measurement steps.
The main requirements were: time resolution of one minute and spectral resolution less than 1 nm.
The researchers of the project have been participated at two Antarctica campaign, the XXI campaign, 2005, and the XXV campaign, 2009.
- XXI Campaign: the radiometer was tested in the Antarctica environment in order to check the reliability of the different components and the optical stability of the filters.
- XXV Campaign: the radiometer F-RAD was definitively placed on the roof of one of the MZS building and connected with the Local Area Network of the base.
the UV data were daily downloaded in Italy.
The spectral UV data acquired with high time resolution, each wavelength was measured 1430 time per day and high spectral resolution, the filters have a FWHM of 0.5- 0.8 nm. F-RAD was placed in Antarctica in November 2009 and works properly, the different parameters are checked daily.
