Retrieving Cloud Characteristics from Ground-Based Daytime Color All-Sky Images (2006, background): “In addition, clouds affect our everyday lives, for example, by modifying the amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation that reaches the earth’s surface (Calbó et al. 2005).”
Fast radiative transfer parameterisation for assessing the surface solar irradiance: The Heliosat-4 method (2017, background): “KcG and KcB are also often called cloud modification factor in studies on erythemal UV or photosynthetically active radiation (e.g. Calbo et al., 2005; den Outer et al., 2010).”
Impacts of climate change on the amphibians and reptiles of Southeast Asia (2010, background): “In Southeast Asia, montane species are likely to be extremely vulnerable to such effects as reduced cloud cover will result in greater UV-B transmission through the atmosphere (Cess et al. 1990; Estupinan et al. 1996; Calbó et al. 2005).”
