Specific objectives to secure our main goal during the SOP will be: 1 - develop a compact Radiation Measurement UNIT (RMU) robust enough to allow continuous measurements in harsh environment through which to make shortwave, longwave observations as well as to record status of the sky. 2 - secure UV measurements at both stations. 3 - develop specific tools to analyse on a daily basis (weakly for clouds) collected data and extract parameters of interest. For radiation these will include QA/QC SW and LW downwelling and upwelling fluxes, diffuse and direct components of solar radiation, UV spectral flux and doses. For clouds these will include, on a continuous base, cloud fraction derived both from radiometric measurement and sky camera observations, cloud type and cloud effect on SW radiation. In addition cloud base (or cloud ceiling) will be obtained by routine observations performed at the two stations. From UV measurements columnar ozone content will be also derived. Moving forward to YOPP consolidation phase, we plan to: 1 - extend dataset and its analysis, start to collect information on seasonal and inter-annual variability, determine Cloud radiative Forcing (CRF) 2 - perform extensive comparison between automatic and visual cloudiness observation methods. They being very useful to better understand quality and value of historical datasets at the two stationsù 3 - make comparison with cloudiness regime of Ross Sea and Antarctic Plateau. Make similar comparison for UV fluxes in the Peninsula and at Concordia. 1 - radiation components at the surface, including global, diffuse and direct solar radiation, upwelling SW component, LW downwelling and upwelling fluxes, as well as spectral UV radiation. 2 - Cloudiness features, including, on a continuous base, cloud fraction derived both from radiometric measurement and sky camera observations, cloud type and cloud effect on SW radiation, estimate of Cloud radiative forcing (CRF), cloud base from routine observations performed at the station. 3 - From UV spectral measurements derived quantity as columnar ozone and erythemal dose. All above parameters and evaluated quantities will be carry out at the two Argentine stations of Marambio and Belgrano II Vito Vitale CNR - ISP Researcher v.vitale@isac.cnr.it Piero Di Carlo Università di Chieti Professor (Associate) piero.dicarlo@unich.it https://www.unich.it/ugov/person/148089 https://antarcticdatacenter.cnr.it/images/57f62f7d-569b-4069-bf5a-8aec56b09eb5/belgrano.jpg Meteorological geographical features Atmospheric conditions GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2008-01-01 geonetwork.thesaurus.external.theme.httpinspireeceuropaeutheme-theme Weddell Sea Ross Sea Argentina Antarctica Continents, countries, sea regions of the world. 2015-01-01 geonetwork.thesaurus.external.place.regions SOLAR UV SPECTROMETERS Radiation Sensors PYRANOMETERS Sky View Camera PYRGEOMETERS MULTIFILTER RADIOMETER GCMD - Instruments 2022-01-24 geonetwork.thesaurus.external.theme.gcmd-instruments ROSS SEA ARGENTINA WEDDELL SEA ANTARCTICA GCMD - Locations 2022-01-24 geonetwork.thesaurus.external.theme.gcmd-locations IT/CNR/ISAC IT/PNRA GCMD - Providers 2022-01-24 geonetwork.thesaurus.external.theme.gcmd-providers INCOMING SOLAR RADIATION ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION UV RADIATION SHORTWAVE RADIATION NET RADIATION GCMD - Science Keywords 2015-01-01 geonetwork.thesaurus.external.theme.gcmd-sciencekeywords YOPP Initiative and Programs 2023-10-02 geonetwork.thesaurus.local.theme.InitiativeandPrograms RadiCA PNRA18_00026 PNRA project 2024-03-18 geonetwork.thesaurus.external.theme.PNRAproject   Creative-Commons CC BY-NC-SA 4.0         2018/YOPP3.02 1 climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere environment -62.7811432879285 -11.7987402082667 -79.6311732724031 -58.6066295940797 2018-09-01 2022-08-31 Text 1 https://apps3.awi.de/YPP/pdf/stream/181 WWW:LINK Project description document Project decription document by YOPP COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services 2010-12-08 This data set is conformant with the INSPIRE Implementing Rules for the interoperability of spatial data sets and services true Data are collected continuously by radiometers and brewer spectrometers and store as minute averages with standard deviation.
