Abstract

Based on the analysis of the results of research by various authors in the field, it has been determined that the presence of clouds can lead to both an increase and a decrease in UV radiation on the surface of the Earth. The condition of UV radiation balance, as well as the condition of total increase on the surface of Earth, has been determined. On the basis of the proposed non-permanent model of cough clouds, a condition of balance of UV radiation on the Earth's surface and a condition of total increase of UV radiation have been found.
