TL;DR: The performance of the developed ANN has been checked regarding its ability to estimate the UV index (UVI); results indicate that in more than 95% of the cases, the difference between estimated and measured values does not exceed one unit of UVI.

TL;DR: In this paper, a fraction of the volcanic plume that originated from the Eyjafjallajokull volcanic eruption on Iceland in 2010 reached the southern Iberian Peninsula in May 2010.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare two methods for obtaining soil boundary-layer resistance, one based on the turbulent diffusion theory (TD) and another based on energy balance of heated and unheated sensors (EB), and analyse how the results obtained from both methods are affected by canopy structure parameters in typical sparse vegetation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effect of altitude and aerosols on solar UV irradiance under cloudless conditions by taking spectral and broadband measurements in SE Spain in the summer of 2002.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of systematic and random errors on the inversion of multi-wavelength (MW) lidar data using the well-known regularization technique to obtain vertically resolved aerosol microphysical properties were investigated.
