Ground based measurements

Since the beginning of the nineties great efforts are made for the construction of a network on European scale for the measurement of visible UV radiations on the ground. The Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy has a number of stations, which measure automatically the amount of visible UV radiations.

• Since 1993: Brussels, Belgium (Institute for Space Aeronomy, Uccle/Ukkel Station)
  
• Since2004: Ardennes, Belgium (Euro Space Center, Redu Station)
  
• Since2006: Coast, Belgium (Earth Explorer, Ostend Station)
  
• Since2007: Gaumes, Belgium (City Hall, Virton Station)
  
• Since2009: Kempen, Belgium (VITO, Mol Station)
