Abstract
Methods of accurately estimating erythemaly-weighted UV exposure, such as the UV Index, and sensors adapted for the same.
Claims20
A computer executable method of estimating erythemaly-weighted UV exposure, the computer executable method stored in a non-transitory memory, the method comprising:
- receiving as input information that is indicative of an irradiance measured from a sensor that is more sensitive to light with a wavelength from 305 nm to 315 nm than to light with a wavelength less than 305 nm and to light with a wavelength greater than 315 nm;
- and
- estimating erythemaly-weighted UV exposure using the input information.
A method of using a sensor adapted for use in estimating erythemaly-weighted UV exposure, comprising:
- measuring irradiance from a sensor that is more sensitive to light with a wavelength from 305 nm to 315 nm than to light with a wavelength less than 305 nm and to light with a wavelength greater than 315 nm;
- and
- estimating erythemaly-weighted UV exposure using the measured irradiance.
A method of using a sensor adapted for use in estimating erythemaly-weighted UV exposure, comprising:
- measuring an output from a sensor that is more sensitive to light with a wavelength from 305 nm to 315 nm than to light with a wavelength less than 305 nm and to light with a wavelength greater than 315 nm;
- and
- estimating erythemaly-weighted UV exposure using the measured output.
