Overview of Ultraviolet Research Activities (2010-2011) and Future Plans
This document outlines the activities of the Ultraviolet Working Group from 2010 to 2011, including sessions held at the IUGG conference in Melbourne. It details the European Metrology Research Programme’s project ENV03 on solar UV, which is scheduled from 2011 to 2014, highlighting key presentations and research on solar UV measurements and ozone cross sections. Future UV sessions are planned for IRS 2012 in Berlin and DACA 13 in Davos. The project aims to enhance solar UV spectroradiometry and includes workshops and outreach efforts for UV scientists.
