REMS UV Flux Data
CERTIFIED
Ultraviolet flux is measured in six different channels by the REMS UV sensor. The wavelength ranges of each channel are as follows: ABC (200-380nm), A (320-380nm), B (280-320nm), C (200-280nm), D (230-290nm), E (300-350nm) . Fully processed UV flux data are available, but uncertainty values for these measurements are not.
Columns in Reduced MOD RDR files:
(UVA Flux, UVB Flux, UVC Flux, UVABC Flux, UVD Flux, UVE Flux, UVA Uncertainty - not available, UVB Uncertainty - not available, UVC Uncertainty - not available, UVABC Uncertainty - not available, UVD Uncertainty - not available, UVE Uncertainty - not available, UVS Confidence Level)
This plot displays UV flux data from the morning of the 151st sol of the MSL mission. It shows UV flux in W/m2 is plotted against Local Mean Solar Time. UV flux is measured over 6 bands, 5 of which are included in the plot above. Uncertainties for these flux measurements are not available. The data in this plot can be obtained in file RME_410851407RMD01510000000_______P8.TAB
