PENAFIEL, V. M.. MODELO MONTE CARLO PARA IRRADIANCIA RELATIVA UV-B. Revista Boliviana de Física [online]. 2008, vol.14, n.14, pp.58-64. ISSN 1562-3823.

A simulation of the ultraviolet solar irradiance profile, studying the disper­sion of photons in a spherical and homogeneous atmosphere, was realized using the Monte Carlo method. Hypothetically, relative irradiance (dimensionless and normalized to the unit) has been principally associated with Rayleigh's disper­sion theory and atmospheric geometry. A more detailed analysis of the radiative magnitude is required (and the inclusion of other phenomena, such as photon absorption). The present study describes the theoretical framework used in the calcula­tion of the algorithms. The data is sufficiently versatile allowing for comparative analysis experiments that vary the principal parameters and include factors such as an exponential atmosphere.

Palabras clave : Monte Carlo method; computer simulation; atmosphere physic.
