a) UV index computed from spectral measurements carried out by using the USACH spectroradiometer at Paranal Observatory on 09.01.2013 (Black line; minimum SZA = 2.6°), in Santiago de Chile on 10.12.2011 (Red line; minimum SZA = 11°), and at Union Glacier Camp on 05.12.2012 (Blue line; minimum SZA = 56.7°). b) Red line: ratio between UV spectra at SZA = 60° measured at Union Glacier Camp (on 05.12.2012) and at Paranal Observatory on (09.01.2013). Blue line: ratio between modeled UV spectra at Union Glacier Camp (albedo = 0.95; AOD = 0.02; SSA = 0.99; altitude = 700 m; ozone = 330 DU) and at Paranal Observatory (albedo = 0.1; AOD = 0.15; SSA = 0.7; altitude = 2,635 m; ozone = 260 DU). c) Red line: ratio between UV spectra at SZA = 60° measured at Union Glacier Camp (on 05.12.2012) and at USACH station in Santiago de Chile (on 10.12.2011). Blue line: ratio between modeled UV spectra at Union Glacier Camp (albedo = 0.95; AOD = 0.02; SSA = 0.99; altitude = 700 m; ozone = 330 DU) and in Santiago de Chile (albedo = 0.1; AOD = 0.3; SSA = 0.7; altitude = 500 m; ozone = 265 DU).
