Abstract
In this study, comparisons of spectral ultraviolet irradiance at 305, 310, 324 and 380 nm at the overpass time retrieved from OMI/AURA satellite with that from ground-based measurements were performed at Nakhon Pathom (13.82ºN,100.04ºE), Thailand. The analyzed data period comprised from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2015.
The comparison results clearly showed the overestimation of satellite data with root mean square difference (RMSD) between 22.9 and 48.9%, and mean bias difference (MBD) between 5.3 and 39.8% for all sky conditions, and reduced to 10.6-40.5% and 0.18-34.9% for clear sky conditions. Further results showed that the differences between the two datasets depend on atmospheric aerosol loads and clouds.
