Abstract

The solar electromagnetic radiation flux is one of the important factors to evaluate the energy balance of the planet. It is important in the studies on the properties of the atmosphere and its components as AOD, on the energy requirements for anthropogenic activities as agriculture, industry and so on. The ever-increasing interest about the effects on the biosphere as consequence of anthropogenic activities has contributed to develop further studies about the solar radiation and in particular the UV band, 280-320 nm. The consequence has been a growing of instrumental site and radiometric networks. Many decisions affecting on civil society are taken using the data of these nets and consequently it is very important to study the effect of the environmental factors on the instrument output. The classical electromechanical equipments have good sensibility and resolution but their handicap is the time of the measure, generally some minutes. In this time, the sun is moved and the clouds in the sky too. The new generation of spectrometer based on solid state technology avoid the long time measurements. The paper show a new radiograph (fast spectroradiometer) for solar UV band 250-400 nm. It is based on CCD array and optical fiber. The performance are compared with a Brewer spectrophotometer during a comparison campaign close to Rome, Italy.
