CORONAS-F Tracking

SUFR

Solar UV Radiometer

Institutes:
Fedorov Institute of Applied Geophysics

Principal Investigators:
Dr. T.V.Kazachevskaya

Scientific goals

Scientific goal of the experiment is to monitor solar UV radiation in HL_α in order to:

study the possibility of forecasting dangerous radiation levels in space environment resulting from the solar flares
study the relationship between solar electromagnetic emission in various spectrum bands in order to develop model solar spectrums
obtain data on the extreme solar UV radiation for the purpose of modelling the ionosphere and upper atmosphere of the Earth

Technical parameters

Solar ultraviolet radiometer SUFR-Sp-K is used to measure variations of the integral solar UV flux in several spectral bands ranging from 1 to 130 nm and to diagnose parameters of the solar flares in spectral band 0.1-130 nm and dynamic range 0.1-30 erg cm^-2c^-1. The device is also used for monitoring of the important element of space weather - geoeffective solar radiation.
