This service provides "Ultraviolet (UV)" values computed from the satellite-derived solar radiation database HelioClim-3 version 5 over a horizontal plane. The geographical coverage corresponds to the Meteosat satellite field of view, i.e. covers Europe, Africa, Atlantic Ocean, Middle East. Spatial resolution is 3 km at Nadir and is increasing as soon as we get away from this point (see illustration on the right hand side).

This UV service provides time series of UV-A (315–400 nm) and UV-B (280–315 nm), and UV Total (UV-A+UV-B). Data are irradiations provided in Wh.m^-2.

The UV service service delivers very fast time series of irradiation, from February 1, 2004 to yesterday with a time step ranging from 1 minute to 1 month.
