TL;DR: In this paper, a program package for the management and analysis of spectral ultraviolet radiation (UV) data on an IBM compatible PC is described, which can accommodate data from UV spectroradiometers operating in Russia, the U.S. National Science Foundation Polar Programs UV Spectroradiometer Network, and the World Meteorological Organization Ozone and UV Data Center, located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Abstract: A program package for the management and analysis of spectral ultraviolet radiation (UV) data on an IBM-compatible PC is described. The present version can accommodate data from UV spectroradiometers operating in Russia, the U.S. National Science Foundation Polar Programs UV Spectroradiometer Network, and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Ozone and UV Data Center, located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The package manages compact databases of measured UV spectra and supporting meteorological information and has tools for visualization, statistical analysis, calculation of biologically effective doses, and a simple built-in radiative transfer model. In this paper, the program structure and the user interface are discussed. Examples of the program's operation using spectral data from three spectroradiometers (SUVS-M, Central Aerological Observatory, Russia; Meteorological Observatory of Moscow State University, Russia; NSF Network, United States) illustrate the program's capabilities.
