Bahrain
Bahrain has a YES
UVB-1 pyranometer operating at the Bahrain
International Airport (26.16N, 50.39E) since July 1994. It
is under the supervision of Nader Ahmed Abdulla, Directorate of
Meteorology at the State of Bahrain Ministry of Development
& Industry. Data from the instrument are saved on an hourly
basis. Recorded are the hourly maximum, minimum, and mean
values of irradiance. These data are based on a polling
frequency of five seconds.
UV monitoring is a new field for this organization.
Although not required to monitor, they believe that UV
monitoring is an important aspect of environmental
monitoring and could prove useful in the long run to their
agricultural and fishery industries. At present they have
no plans to increase UV monitoring with the addition of more
instruments.
