Solar UV and X-ray spectral diagnostics [PDF]
Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2018 X-ray and ultraviolet (UV) observations of the outer solar atmosphere have been used for many decades to measure the fundamental parameters of the solar plasma. This review focuses on the optically thin emission from the solar atmosphere, mostly found at

Solar UV-B/A radiation is highly effective in inactivating SARS-CoV-2 [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Solar UV-C photons do not reach Earth’s surface, but are known to be endowed with germicidal properties that are also effective on viruses. The effect of softer UV-B and UV-A photons, which copiously reach the Earth’s surface, on viruses are instead ...

Characteristics of solar UV irradiance
Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 1994 Solar UVB irradiance is measured worldwide with the Robertson-Berger sunburn meter whose spectral sensitivity is adapted to the action spectrum of human erythema. Thus, the Robertson-Berger sunburn meter measures the erythemal effective irradiance.
