Abstract:
Solar radiation at the earth‟s energy source including a significant amount of ultraviolet
rays. Ultraviolet B (UV-B) is one of the types of UV radiation with wavelength range from 280315
nm.
In
this
study,
the
comparison
of
UV-B
at
Ras
Dashen
and
Ertale
were
investigated
using
satellite
data
from
the
National Aeronautics and Space A demonstration (NASA). We accessed
11-year data that ranges from 2010 to 2020 for monthly, seasonal and annual time scale. The
result indicates that the UV-B strongly depends on time scale, i.e. it varies from monthly to
seasonal, annual time scale for both sites. As a result the highest UVB was observed at Ras
Dashen for the month like April and may whereas the lowest was for December, for season the
highest spring the lowest winter and for annual for 2019 and 2020, the lowest2010 and2011
respectively. At Ertale the highest UVB was observed for monthly at April whereas the lowest at
January, for seasonal the highest was at autumn and the lowest, for seasonal in water and for
annual the highest in 2019 and the lowest in 2011. Thus in average UVB distribution at Ras
Dashen was stronger than at Ertale. Furthermore in average UVB distribution were increases
from 2010 to 2020 in both sites.
