The Ozone Effect on Shortwave Solar Radiation in the Atmosphere over Iraq

Ozone gas is one of the most important gases that affect the entry of the amount of solar energy coining into the Earth. It has an effect on the regulation of weather and climate because it absorbs most of the ultraviolet energy at high altitudes in the atmosphere. For this reason, the behavior of the ozone gas with the elements of solar radiation has been studied to know The effect of ozone gas on short-wave solar radiation (surface clear solar radiation (SSR) net surface solar radiation clear sky (SSRC) surface-level solar radiation down (SSRD) TOA incident solar radiation (TISR) above solar radiation (TSR) using European data Weather forecast is average The range (ECMWF) as a monthly average at that time (12:00 pm) for a period of ten years (2009-2018) at selected stations in Iraq (Mosul, Baghdad, Basra), where the highest peak of radiation was shown at the Basra station located in latitudes. Low and radiation value decreases with stations located in high latitudes as in Baghdad and a larger image is visible in Mosul, while the weight of the total column of ozone is the opposite, where the highest value is in the higher latitudes in the Mosul station while it decreases in areas with low latitudes as in Baghdad and Basra station.
