We analyze the interrelation between the daily UV–B radiation and a number of factors determining the absorption of UV radiation in the atmosphere (total ozone content (TOC), cloud amount, and aerosol optical depth (AOD)). This is done using a homogeneous time series of measurements of UV–B radiation at the Tropospheric Ozone Research (TOR) station of the Institute of Atmospheric Optics, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, from 2003 to 2016, satellite data on TOC, AOD data from the AERONET network, and data on cloud cover from the meteorological site of the Institute of Monitoring of Climatic and Ecological Systems, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences. The regression equations are obtained, relating the increment of the diurnal intake of UV-B radiation as a function of the increment of TOC under different cloud conditions and atmospheric transparency.
