WG4 - Quality Control

General Tasks and Goals from the MOU

• Drafting and implementation of common Q/A and Q/C procedures.
• Characterisation and intercomparison of selected broadband radiometers.
• Creation of an European reference group of broadband radiometers.

Setteld Tasks

1. Questionnaire to evaluate which measuring instruments are mainly used for UV monitoring (June 2004)
2. Distribution of the questionnaire (each national Delegation, July 2004)
3. Analysis of answered questionnaires (October 2004)
4. Questionnaire on QA/QC procedures used in national networks
5. Multi-band UV filter radiometer inter-comparison at NRPA (Oslo, Norway), supported by WMO, 39 instruments, 4 spectro-radiometers, STSM from IMWM (Poland) and AUTH (Greece).
6. Preparing quality guidelines for UV broadband instruments:
