Abstract
A UV-B spectrophotometer is described which uses an integrating sphere flux collector, a non-scanning single grating monochrometer, and an intensified photo diode array detector. Simultaneous rapid recording of the entire spectral data with good wavelength resolution, while maintaining a fixed grating position, offers certain advantages over scanning instruments for full-sky irradiance measurements. Poor stray light rejection represents a serious limitation of a single grating instrument in the UV-B cutoffregion of the spectrum. The use of an interference filter to partially solve this problem is discussed.
