DATABASE FLAGS

As part of the quality control systems applied to the database, spectral UV irradiance are flagged for a range of conditions. 

A summary of the types and definitions of the various flags applied to the spectral data is given here

AUXILIARY DATA

New facilities have been designed for handling auxiliary data within the database. A discussion document covering the data types considered and the implementation of the new structures is available here.
