Dear European Brewer spectrophotometer user community member:<\/p>\n

This is an invitation to European Brewer operators to participate in the ninth Regional Brewer Calibration Center for Europe (RBCC-E) intercomparison that will be held at Arosa Lichtklimatisches Observatorium LKO of MeteoSwiss during the period July 15-25, 2014.<\/p>\n

This ninth campaign will be a joint exercise of the Regional Brewer Calibration Canter for Europe (RBCC-E) and MeteoSwiss with the support of the Global Atmospheric Watch (GAW) program of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the EUBREWNET COST\u00a0 ES1207 Action.<\/p>\n

In November 2003, and within the GAW\/WMO program, the Regional Brewer Calibration Centre for RA-VI Region (Europe) (RBCC-E) was established by Iza\u00f1a Atmospheric Research Centre (I-ARC) at Iza\u00f1a Observatory (IZO, Canary Islands), managed by the \u201cAgencia Estatal de Meteorolog\u00eda\u201d (AEMET, Spain). Technical and organization information of the RBCC-E can be obtained at www.rbcc-e.org<\/a>. At present, the RBCC-E maintains a triad of reference instruments. The Regional Primary Reference Spectrophotometer (B157) and the Regional Travelling Reference Spectrophotometer (B185) are part of the triad. Each spectrophotometer is calibrated independently with the standard Langley method at IZO and since 2011 transfer his own calibration. These instruments are also regularly compared against the World Brewer Reference Triad (BRT) maintained by the Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC, Toronto) via the calibration service provided by the International Ozone Services (IOS). The IZO travelling reference (B185) being transported to field calibration missions at different sites in Europe.<\/p>\n

In order to maintain the continuity of the calibration scale of the BRT with the current transfer by the RBCC-E, the travelling reference (B017) operated by IOS experts will participate to this intercomparison. This will allow participants to order IOS for technical servicing on their instruments during the campaign. The action focuses on the calibration of Brewer spectrophotometers from south and central Europe<\/p>\n

A specific UV campaign of the EMRP-EN03 project \u201cSolar UV\u201d will be performed at Davos organized by PMOD\/WRC from 7 to 14 of July \u00a0of 2014\u00a0 more information are available at<\/p>\n
