Chieming measuring station
| Operator | Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) |
| Location | Chieming (Chiemsee) |
| Height | 551 metres above sea level |
| Coordinates | 47°53'03" N 12°32'25" E |
| Measuring system | Broadband radiometer |
| Measuring interval | 1 minute |
The measuring station in Chieming is part of the nationwide solar UV measuring network
Measurement
The measuring station measures the incident UV irradiance at ground level, broken down into small wavelength ranges. The measured values are adjusted using the weighting curve for the biological effect "sunburn" and quoted in the form of the unified global UV index (UVI).
