These are related to the use of a plane-parallel radiative transfer scheme, the spatial and temporal resolution of the satellite data. The method consists in using a 3D radiative transfer code and synthetic cloud cover. The results from the 3D code are compared with those of the scheme used in practice for mapping the surface UV radiation. }, title = {Potential and Limitations of Space-Based Methods for the Retrieval of Surface UV-B Daily Doses: A Numerical Study}, type = {}, url = {}, volume = {111}, number = {}, journal = {JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH}, pages = {D23207 1-15}, issn = {}, publisher = {AMER GEOPHYSICAL UNION}, doi = {10.1029/2005JD006534.} }
