Access Solar Radiation Data: UV-A, UV-B & UV-C

AI Thread Summary
Current access to solar radiation data, particularly UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C levels, is sought for research purposes. Users have shared links to resources like the NREL solar radiation data and ASTM standards for spectral data. There is a specific request for data that includes wavelengths starting from 100 nm, even if the amounts are minimal. The discussion emphasizes the difficulty in locating comprehensive datasets for these UV ranges. Researchers are encouraged to explore the provided links for potential information.

Does anyone have access to the current data about solar radiation reaching Earth's surface ? The most importaint is the UV range divided into UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. If not, then data from the past few years would also be fine. I need it for research but I cannot find anywhere such information.

Thanks for these, for sure I'll use them, but the point is that I need also the data with wavelength from 100 nm, even if those are very little amounts.
 
3I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and formerly designated as A11pl3Z, is an iinterstellar comet. It was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) station at Río Hurtado, Chile on 1 July 2025. Note: it was mentioned (as A11pl3Z) by DaveE in a new member's introductory thread. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/brian-cox-lead-me-here.1081670/post-7274146 https://earthsky.org/space/new-interstellar-object-candidate-heading-toward-the-sun-a11pl3z/ One...
Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
