Brewer MKIII

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Brewer MkIII Spectrophotometer is designed to measure harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation and stratospheric ozone levels. It is crucial for monitoring the health of the atmosphere, as ozone depletion allows more harmful UV radiation to reach the Earth's surface.

Applications
Originally part of the WMO Global Atmosphere Watch program, the Brewer MkIII is used worldwide to measure total column ozone and UV radiation. It is the only instrument currently sanctioned by the WMO for these measurements. The spectrophotometer covers UV wavelength ranges UVC (100-280 nm), UVB (280-315 nm), and UVA (315-400 nm), with UVA being significantly more prevalent at the Earth's surface.

Features
The Brewer MkIII features a unique self-compensating spectrometer design, allowing it to operate in various climates without complex temperature stabilization. It uses a double spectrometer setup for improved accuracy and is mounted on an azimuth tracker for precise solar radiation measurements. The instrument calculates UVA, UVB, UVE (Erythemal), and UVI (Index) irradiances.

Brewer Accessories
Standard accessories include an internal heater and humidity sensor. Optional accessories include an aluminum transit case, a UV-B stability kit for calibration, and an insulated cold cover for extreme temperatures.

Support and Specifications
Manufactured by Kipp & Zonen, the Brewer MkIII comes with comprehensive support services. Key specifications include a wavelength range of 286.5 nm to 363 nm, a wavelength resolution of 0.6 nm, and a measurement accuracy of less than 1% for column ozone. The instrument operates within a temperature range of -20 °C to +40 °C, extendable to -50 °C with the cold cover.

Introduction A major concern in many parts of the world is the amount of harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun and sky that people are exposed to. ‘Holes in the Ozone layer’ are areas of stratospheric Ozone depletion and are not conned to the North and South Poles. They are indicators of the general health of the atmosphere, and a reduction in Ozone means that more harmful UV reaches the ground. Many Brewers are now purchased for research into the eects of Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and sky. The UV region covers the wavelength ranges 100-280 nm (UVC), 280-315 nm (UVB) and 315-400...

Brewers Around the World There are over 200 Brewers, in more than 40 countries around the World, from the tropics to the Arctic and Antarctic, most of these are shown on he map above. About 80 Brewer stations report Ozone and UV measurements to the World Ozone & Ultraviolet Data Centre (WOUDC). An UV-B stability kit external UV calibration lamp kit recommended for regular checks of the stability of the UV sensitivity (not required for Ozone and Sulphur Dioxide measurements. Brewer Accessories An insulated Cold Cover extends operation from -20 °C down to -50 °C, required for arctic and polar conditions...
