Cosmic background radiation can significantly contribute to understanding atmospheric variability.

The approach supports strengthening meteorological data systems in Colombia.

It offers a new variable for global radiation assessment in climate models.

Abstract

Nowadays radiation is one of the variables to be considered in the environmental forecasting and it is meaningful in the increase of global warming, together greenhouse effect. The radiation considered by the meteorological organizations depends on the World Radiometric Reference (WRR), the World Standard Group (WSG), addressed by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). This work is based on the cosmic microwave background, as a variable to be estimated in order to get information about the incident radiation in the Earth's atmosphere, as a valuable and meaningful contribution in the building of the radiation atlas by the (UPME) and (IDEAM). Due to the fact that the variables considered are ultraviolet and infrared radiation, ozone column, direct radiation and diffuse radiation, the last two get the global radiation, and are the only ones to be evaluated by the national meteorological organizations in the country. The study of the cosmic background radiation as a research project will provide data which will strengthen the meteorological information systems in Colombia, supported by the Bayesian methodology; supporting that cosmic background radiation can contribute significantly in the increase of the variability of the troposphere, stratosphere and mesosphere world temperature as a consequence of global warming.
