Abstract
Ultraviolet radiation is dangerous to humans. In a relatively short time, it has the potential to induce diseases such as skin cancer, cataracts, and autoimmune disease weakening. On the other hand, the human body produces vitamin D in part because of the UV radiation from the sun. The kidneys and liver convert the necessary vitamin D production in the epidermis to hydroxyvitamin D by the kidneys and liver. The solar ultraviolet radiation for vitamin D photosynthesis (DUV) measured by UV sensors board on the Al-Mustansiriyah solar radiation station. The present paper focuses on supposing an empirical equation to estimate DUV using numerous atmospheric characteristics under clear skies. such as ultraviolet index, aerosol optical depth, total ozone column, solar zenith angle and air mass as an input of the developed models for Mosul, Baghdad and Basra also the results shows that the daily variation of UVI for area of Mosul, Baghdad and Basra, where the highest values appear in summer months which ranged between (10-13), Whereas the lowest values shown during winter season with a range (1.6 - 5 ) and the maximum UVI lies shown in June month was (13.2) in Basra, while the minimum UVI appear in December month was (1.6) in Mosul. The data is used in present paper for the year 2021. The statically evaluation result shows that the estimated DUV by RMSE of 55.96, MBE of 5.84, MAPE of 10.27, MBE of 5.84, and the R of 0.99.
