Luxembourg

The Meteorological Station of the Lycee Classique de Diekirch (Meteo _LCD) is the only UV measuring station in Luxembourg and specializes in UV radiation related problems. The data of Meteo-LCD are used to compute the UV-Index, published by several Luxembourg periodicals. A research project done in collaboration with the Radioprotection Office of Luxembourg studies the general UV pattern and the relationship between UVB irradiance and tropospheric ozone concentrations.

In addition to UV data, the station also collects a variety of meteorological data. Today, Meteo-LCD operates only one instrument near the town of Diekirch. A Solar Light UVB Biometer operates in support of the World Ozone and UV Radiation Data Centre (WOUDC). Please contact Francis Massen for more information.
