1 Operational Ultraviolet Forecast System for South America: Analysis, Evaluation and Measurements Center for Weather Forecast and Climate Studies (CPTEC) Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (INPE) Simone Sievert da Costa Marcos Rodrigues, Marcelo de Paula Correa* and Juan C. Ceballos *Research is under development in collaboration with University of Itajuba - MG

2 TALK OUTLINE Operational UV Forecast System at CPTEC-INPE Webpage (tool for communication / products) method used for the UV index calculation Evaluation of UV index Experimental campaign at Sao Paulo city Temporal and Spatial variation of UV index over Brazil Important information for health sectors to develop campaign to reduce diseases related sun exposure Who are the users/ how information has been used

3 Satellite webpage of CPTEC-INPE

4 Portuguese version

5 Spanish Version Collaboration with Universidad Nacional de Asunción, Paraguay

6 What kind of information is provided on the website?

7 Ozone Concentration NCEP + Forecast (Long et al., 1996-BAMS) Geopotential 500 & 100 hpa Temperature at 50 hpa

8 Forecast of max UV index without clouds at solar noon (recommended by WHO)

9 UV index every 30 min. clear and cloudy. (called UVI Instantaneous)

10

11 How UV index is estimated? Radiative Transfer is developed by Correa et al. (2004) based on Eddington approx. 2π 1 diλ ( µ, φ; τ) ω µ = I + λ λ( µ, φ; τ) o Iλ( µ, φ; τ) P(cos Ψ') dµ dφ dτ 4π 0 1 Input data into RT-Model Ozone Concentration (from NOAA); Cloud (cloud classification from GOES); Surface pressure (from ETA 20 km), Background aerosol (δ=0,2 and ω=0,9) Surface reflectance = 0,3 (urban areas, EPA, WMO-1999) The monocromatic irradiance from 280 to 400 nm S 400nm = λ ελi dλ 280nm [W/m 2 ] Erythemal action spectrum (from MacKinlay and Diffey, 1986) 1 IUV S λ = 25 mw/m 2

19 UV index instantaneous 17:30 UTC March June September December low moderate high Very high extreme

20 UV index instantaneous 18:00 UTC March June September December low moderate high Very high extreme

21 Cloud Effect on IUV According to Vanicek et al. ( 2000) UVI cld = CMF * UVI clr, where CMF is Cloud Modification Factor that depends on cloud type and cloud cover High Medium Low Fog 0.4 Rain 0.2 Vanicek et al. (2000)

22 Cloud Effect on IUV GOES Cloud Classification: Clouds classification based on GOES Ch 1&4 (Ceballos and Bottino, 2002) Cloud Modification Factor Surface CMF = 1.00 Cirrus CMF = 0.90 Cumulus CMF = 0.70 Stratus CMF = 0.50 Deep convection CMF = 0.30 / multi- layers

23 Cloud Effect on UVI Clear sky UVI GOES12 cloud class. Cloudy UVI

24 What is the performance of UV index estimative? Observation from the project entitled Study on the effect of atmospheric and geographical factors on ultraviolet radiation in São Paulo Funded by FAPESP n 04/ Coordinated by Dr. Marcelo Corrêa and Dr. Juan Ceballos Study area biologically effective ultraviolet radiation measurement UV index Biometer UV501A Solar Light ( nm )
