Description:
Brewer 112 is located in Riverside CA, measuring ultraviolet solar radiation. Irradiance and column ozone are derived from this data. Ultraviolet solar radiation is measured with a Brewer Mark IV, single-monochrometer, spectrophotometer manufactured by SCI-TEC Instruments, Inc. of Saskatoon, SK, Canada. The UV monitoring under EPA's UV-Net program is coordinated with measurement programs of other U.S. Federal agencies through the U.S. Global Change Research Program. Brewer 112 is located on the roof of the Bourns Building, 1200 Columbia Avenue, Riverside, California, about 2.3 km north of the UC-Riverside campus. The roof is about 8 meters from the ground level. Hills to the east obstruct the view to about 10 degrees above the horizon. The Brewer has been recording data at this site since October 1995.
