MODELO MONTE CARLO PARA IRRADIANCIA RELATIVA UV-B

Abstract

A simulation of the ultraviolet solar irradiance profile, studying the dispersion of photons in a spherical and homogeneous atmosphere, was realized using the Monte Carlo method. Hypothetically, relative irradiance (dimensionless and normalized to the unit) has been principally associated with Rayleigh’s dispersion theory and atmospheric geometry. A more detailed analysis of the radiative magnitude is required (and the inclusion of other phenomena, such as photon absorption). The present study describes the theoretical framework used in the calculation of the algorithms. The data is sufficiently versatile allowing for comparative analysis experiments that vary the principal parameters and include factors such as an exponential atmosphere.
