A hypothesis that UVR measured on a vertical plane in the north direction can be used in the UK as a proxy for diffuse radiation to derive three‐dimensional irradiance profile was tested against direct measurements and compared with models based on solar tracker data in Chilton, UK, (51.57°N) in June–July 2018. A proposed system could offer a portable and low‐cost alternative to measurements of diffuse radiation by solar tracking radiometers for spatial distribution of terrestrial erythema effective UVR in population field studies.
