The method for mapping surface UV radiation using MSG follows the general scheme previously used with METEOSAT, with the additional use of the 1.6 μm band for a better snow/cloud discrimination. This adaptation and improvement of the algorithm allows the continuation of the climatological dataset of UV radiation over Europe, covering the period from 1984 to present. A near-real time version of the processor has also been devised to produce UV index maps within a few minutes of the MSG image reception via Eumetcast. MSG data are also used in a human UV exposure model that takes into account the actual activity schedule of a person. In this case, the surface radiance field is modelled in order to estimate the exposure of various parts of the body.
