Embodiment
Owing to absorbed by oxygen, the ultraviolet ray (solar infrared) of the sunshine of the arrival earth has the wavelength greater than 200nm.In addition, stratospheric ozone absorbs the wavelength coverage that involves from 360nm to 300nm.Wherein, it is stronger that wavelength is that 320nm or littler ultraviolet ozone absorb, and be that 320nm or littler ultraviolet ray are called UVB with wavelength, is that the ultraviolet ray of 400nm to 320nm is called UVA with wavelength.
Show that according to the data of having delivered in solar ultraviolet, UVB on identical date and time and the ratio of UVA keep constant substantially and have nothing to do with weather.The amount that is absorbed when passing stratospheric ozonosphere is determined the amount of UVB.Thereby, because tellurian ultraviolet wavelength coverage is narrower,, and can think that this UVB measures the appreciable impact that can not be subjected to weather so the difference relevant with wavelength can be ignored in scattering and the reflection.
Therefore, can be by to using the ultraviolet information that a weight (it is directed to each wavelength of desired zone) is determined the specific region by the measured actual measured value (under the troposphere) of the ultraviolet element of known its spectral sensitivity characteristic (for example 200nm to 700nm) in advance, thus utilization recently proofreading and correct according to the estimated value of the estimated value in solar spectrum and the determined ultraviolet whole zone of spectrum sensitivity and ultraviolet specific region.That is, for example, when the estimated value of specific region is estimated value (erythema ultraviolet ray estimator) according to the erythema curve, then should ultraviolet the measuring of estimation erythema estimates, and can determine the UV index according to an actual measured value.
Can be according to multiply by solar spectrum by the spectral characteristic with the ultraviolet receiving element definite uitraviolet intensity of this UV index, the uitraviolet intensity and this actual measured value that are obtained by the erythema curve that measured uitraviolet intensity be multiply by as weight are determined.
Next, detailed description is used for determine the trimming process of specific ultraviolet measurement value (specific ultraviolet information) UV (λ) according to actual measured value UV0.
At first, determine to have the specific ultraviolet measurement value UV (λ) in the zone of specific function curve by following formula,
UV (λ)=∑ F (λ) S (λ) R (λ) formula (1)
Wherein, F is weight (a for example erythema curve), and S is the spectrum sensitivity of ultraviolet receiving element, and R is the spectral radiance of the sun.
Therefore, if F (λ)=1, then the estimated value UV1 (its spectrum sensitivity according to solar spectrum and ultraviolet receiving element is estimated) with whole zone is expressed as following formula,
UV1=∑ S (λ) R (λ) formula (2)
The estimated value UVF (its spectrum sensitivity and solar spectrum radiation spectrum according to specific function curve, ultraviolet receiving element is estimated) of specific region is expressed as following formula,
UVF=∑ F (λ) S (λ) R (λ) formula (3)
The estimated value UV1 by utilizing whole zone and the estimated value UVF of specific region recently proofread and correct actual measured value, and ultraviolet measurement value UV (λ) is defined as following formula,
UV (λ)=actual measured value * (UVF/UV1)
Formula (4)
=actual measured value * (∑ F (λ) S (λ) R (λ)/∑ S (λ) R (λ))
Therefore, will be defined as according to the estimated value UVE (erythema ultraviolet ray estimated value UVE) that erythema curve, spectrum sensitivity and solar spectrum radiation spectrum are estimated:
UVE=∑E(λ)S(λ)R(λ)
Formula (5)
Wherein E (λ) is the weight according to the erythema curve.
Estimated value UV1 by utilizing whole zone and erythema ultraviolet ray estimated value UVE recently proofread and correct actual measured value, erythema ultraviolet ray amount (intensity) E is defined as follows,
The E=actual measured value * (UVE/UV1)
=actual measured value * (∑ E (λ) S (λ) R (λ)/∑ S (λ) R (λ)) formula (6)
At this moment, if R (λ) based on the spectral irradiance in summer, then E corresponds essentially to the erythema ultraviolet ray amount in summer.Even this relational expression is not to set up under the situation of fine (as cloudy or rainy) at weather yet.
Next, will be to the correction that the erythema ultraviolet ray amount E as specific ultraviolet measurement value UV (λ) carries out being described by the use altitude of the sun.
The transmission distance of altitude of the sun and ozonosphere
Determine that by the distance when stratospheric ozonosphere is passed in ultraviolet ray (absorption length) wavelength is less than the ultraviolet ray of 320nm and the wavelength ratio greater than the ultraviolet intensity of 320nm, that is to say, determine absorption length according to altitude of the sun (that is, according to the meridian (southing) on month and date height and according to the altitude of the sun of diurnal motion).
Therefore, if the hypothesis density of ozone is constant,, and can estimate the transmission distance of ultraviolet ray by ozonosphere if then known dates, time and position (latitude) then can determine altitude of the sun.
For example, under the situation that is changed to Tokyo on the throne, the ratio UVB/UV (it is determined according to spectral irradiance) and the ratio UVB/UV in winter near the ultraviolet ray meridian in through situation following summer are 5.5% and 3%.Because altitude of the sun is lower in the morning, thus short wavelength's ultraviolet ray almost do not had, even and in summer, UVB/UV is than also being approximately 1%.Therefore, if can stipulate total UV amount, then can estimate the UVB amount according to date and time.
On the other hand, erythema ultraviolet ray amount is than the more close short wavelength side of UVB, and the variation of its ratio is bigger.Can be by determining because erythema ultraviolet ray amount be estimated in the decay that transmission causes by atmospheric distance.Ultraviolet ray from the sun decays owing to being absorbed by the ozone in the stratosphere, and is subjected to effects such as absorption, scattering, reflection according to tropospheric atmospheric condition.Different with the scattering that takes place because of air molecule (Rayleigh scattering) is, the scattering (Mie scattering) that causes because of cloud is almost without any wavelength dependency.
Can express total ultraviolet ray amount of this moment by actual measured value UV0, this actual measured value UV0 is actual measurement by the ultraviolet measurement element in approximate measure entire ultraviolet line zone.For example, even in cloudy day or rainy day, if total determined uitraviolet intensity, then can be according to determining the ultraviolet intensity of wherein included wavelength less than 320nm by the determined altitude of the sun of latitude of time and this position of expression.That is, can determine the transmission distance of ozonosphere, and can know decay, and can determine the erythema ultraviolet ray amount of any altitude of the sun each wavelength according to altitude of the sun.
Note,, and be not limited to erythema ultraviolet ray amount if the attenuation constant of known in advance per unit wavelength then can estimate specific ultraviolet ray amount (specific ultraviolet information) according to the relation between actual measured value and the altitude of the sun.
For example, because the UV index is the integration to 1 hour, therefore will show as follows with respect to the erythema ultraviolet ray scale of the erythema curve shown in Fig. 1 usually.
Erythema ultraviolet ray amount=
Erythema curve * solar ultraviolet spectral irradiance * 3600 second formula (7)
Therefore, determine the erythema ultraviolet ray amount of any altitude of the sun as follows.
Erythema ultraviolet ray amount=
The altitude of the sun correction factor *
Formula (8) is measured in the erythema ultraviolet ray definite by proofreading and correct actual measured value
Wherein, altitude of the sun correction factor=constant * erythema factor (altitude of the sun)
Therefore,, can determine erythema ultraviolet ray amount, can also determine the UV index according to the actual measured value (ultraviolet total amount) of solar ultraviolet according to geographic area (elevation information) and date and the time that the gauger lives.To note, the fluctuation at the density of ozone of Japan in the cycle in 1 year is approximately ± and 10%.
The calculating of altitude of the sun
Come to determine altitude of the sun (zenith angle Z) as follows.
CosZ=cosD ' cosL '+sinD ' sinL ' cosH formula (9)
Wherein, L ' is observer's a colatitude (complementary angle of latitude L), and D ' is pole span angle (complementary angle of declination D), and H is a hour angle.
Determine pole span angle D ' as follows
CosD '=sin23.5 ° of sin α formula (10)
Wherein, α be by the earth of target day and sun line with at the earth and the formed angle of sun line in the first point of Aries this year, and α=n360 °/365.25 (wherein n is the fate of counting since the Spring Equinox).
In addition, come to determine hour angle H as follows.
H=± 360 ° t/24 hour formula (11)
Wherein, t is the time that picks up counting constantly from meridian.Negative sign is illustrated in before the meridian.
About these information, can obtain date and time according to the clock function of date and time.In addition, under the situation of living in limited geographic area, can import the latitude that sets in advance as positional information.Perhaps, position measurement apparatus can be known positional information at any time according to artificial satellite.
The calculating of altitude of the sun correction factor C (ozone absorbs the influence to altitude of the sun)
At first, suppose that altitude of the sun is θ (elevation angle), and earth radius r 0Be 6400km, the upper limit height of ozonosphere is r 2, and the lower limit height of ozonosphere is r 1, the ozonosphere transmission is expressed as following formula apart from x (θ).
x ( θ ) = - r 0 sin ( θ ) + ( r 0 sin ( θ ) ) 2 + ( r 2 2 + 2 r 2 r 0 )
Formula (12)
- ( - r 0 sin ( θ ) + ( r 0 sin ( θ ) ) 2 + ( r 1 2 + 2 r 1 r 0 ) )
Suppose r 1=20km and r 2=40km, as the function of altitude of the sun, the transmission distance for example is x (80 °)=20.3km, x (30 °)=39.47km, x (15 °)=72.75km, x (0 °)=210.3km.
According to the transmission distance, will be expressed as follows by absorbing the ultraviolet damping capacity that is caused usually.
I=I 0Exp (kx (θ)) (wherein k is an absorption factor) formula (13)
Therefore, if the scattering absorption factor of total UV is k (λ), then the absorption factor in the ozonosphere in UVB zone is k (λ b) (in the layer except that UVB, absorption factor is identical with the absorption factor of total UV), and is total UV:I to stratospheric incident intensity 0(θ) and UVB:Ib 0(θ),
Ib (θ)=Ib 0Exp (k (λ b) x (θ)) * exp (k (λ) x (θ)) formula (14)
I (θ)=I 0Exp (k (λ) x (θ)) formula (15)
To be expressed as follows according to the UVB of altitude of the sun and the ratio of UV.
C=Ib (θ)/I (θ)=(Ib 0/ I 0) exp (k (λ b) x (θ)) formula (16)
Determine the influence (inhalation effects ratio that ozone cause) of ozone absorption to altitude of the sun, that is, and altitude of the sun correction factor C, and can carry out the correction that E is measured in ultraviolet ray to erythema according to altitude of the sun.
Wherein, can determine (Ib by comparing also with the measured value of the different solar spectrum illumination of altitude of the sun 0/ I 0) and k (λ b).
Below, will specify the example of determining erythema ultraviolet ray amount E and definite UV index according to actual measured value, and understand the example of erythema ultraviolet ray amount E being proofreaied and correct specifically according to altitude of the sun.
Wherein, utilize the ultraviolet measurement element (the ultraviolet measurement element that in " the UV caremate " that make by Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd, uses) of polycrystalline gallium nitride semiconductor to measure solar ultraviolet by use, and definite actual measured value UV0.Measured the spectrum sensitivity (seeing Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) of ultraviolet measurement by using regulation light source.In addition, the spectrometer MP11 that makes by use HamamatsuPhotonics KK has measured the solar spectrum in summer (seeing Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) from 290nm to 500nm.
At first, by Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 as seen, according to above-mentioned formula (2) and (5), the ratio of estimated value UV1 (spectrum sensitivity according to solar spectrum and ultraviolet measurement device (element) is estimated) and the ultraviolet estimated value UVE that measures of erythema can be defined as UVE/UV1=0.006.
Then, utilize UVE/UV1 that actual measured value is proofreaied and correct, and determine erythema uitraviolet intensity E according to above-mentioned formula (6).When erythema uitraviolet intensity E being converted to 1 hour ultraviolet ray amount in the period, E is 5000 μ W/cm at UV0 2The time be 108mJ/cm 2As a result, determining the UV index is 11.
Next, according to altitude of the sun information erythema ultraviolet ray amount E is proofreaied and correct.Wherein, used the local horizon data (horizontal data) (major part that in the erythema curve, has comprised these data) of Electrotechnical Library of Japanese Tanashi at the UVB place in 310nm to 300nm wavelength coverage as being used for the UVB/UV ratio in summer and winter.Used the illumination of whole 300nm to 400nm wavelength coverage for this UV.
Near the Summer Solstice (75 °, on June 23rd, 1979),
Ib (75)=Ib 0Exp (k (λ b) x (75)) * exp (k (λ) x (75)) formula (17)
I (75)=I 0Exp (k (λ) x (75)) formula (18)
Ib (75)/I (75)=0.0132=(Ib 0/ I 0) exp (k (λ b) x (75)) formula (19)
Near Winter Solstice (30 °, on Dec 22nd, 1979),
Ib (30)=Ib 0Exp (k (λ b) x (30)) * exp (k (λ) x (30)) formula (20)
I (30)=I 0Exp (k (λ) x (30)) formula (21)
Ib (30)/I (30)=0.0048=(Ib 0/ I 0) exp (k (λ b) x (30)) formula (22)
Determine that 75 ° of transmission distances of locating and 30 ° of transmission distances of locating are for as follows.
In (0.0132/0.0048)=(k (λ b) (x (75)-x (30))) formula (23)
Can obtain according to above-mentioned formula, the absorption factor k (λ b) that is positioned at the ozonosphere in UVB zone is-k (λ b)=In (0.0132/0.0048)/(x (75)-x (30))
=1.0116/ (-18.8km)=-0.0538/km formula (24)
In addition, with Ib 0/ I 0Be defined as following formula.
Ib 0/I 0=0.0132/exp(-k(λb)x(75))
=0.0132/exp (0.0538 * 20.7)=0.0402 formula (25)
This shows, and is outside in stratosphere, wavelength be 300nm to 310nm UVB for all ultraviolet 4%.
Therefore the UVB at any altitude of the sun θ place and the ratio of Uv are expressed as following formula.
C=Ib (θ)/I (θ)=(0.0402) exp (0.0538 * x (θ)) formula (26)
Next, radius of a ball r hypothetically 0Be 6400km, the upper limit height r of ozonosphere 2Be 40km, and the lower limit height r of ozonosphere 1Be 20km, then determine ozonosphere transmission with respect to altitude of the sun θ (elevation angle) apart from x (θ) according to above-mentioned formula (12), and at according to the erythema ultraviolet ray amount E that in meridian altitude is 75 ° of those actual measured value determined that days constantly, for example, when altitude of the sun is 30 °, so because the transmission distance is 0.49 for 40km altitude of the sun correction factor C, and when altitude of the sun is 50 °, because the transmission distance is 26km, so altitude of the sun correction factor C is 0.8.
Therefore, if in observation on the same day, when altitude of the sun was 30 °, determining actual measured value was UV1 * 0.006 (UVE/UV1) * 0.36.For example, when institute's observed reading was 5000 μ W, the UV index was 4.
