Abstract

UV Index is a measure for UV radiation harmful for the human skin, developed and used to promote the sun awareness and protection of people. Monitoring programs conducted around the world have produced a number of long-term time series of UV irradiance. One of the longest time series of solar spectral UV irradiance in Europe has been obtained from the continuous measurements of Brewer #107 spectrophotometer in Jokioinen (lat. 60°44'N, lon. 23°30'E), Finland, over the years 1995-2015. We have used descriptive statistics and estimates of cumulative distribution functions, quantiles and probability density functions in the analysis of the time series of daily UV Index maxima. Seasonal differences in the estimated distributions and in the trends of the estimated quantiles are found.
