Preliminary results of global UV fields estimation at the Earth's surface computed using data from the GOME instrument are presented. A first simple model is used to test the best strategy for implementing the cloud effect on surface UV flux. It relies heavily on the cloud coverage estimation from GOME (ICFA and PMD measurements). A second, more accurate model is derived from the algorithm developed for the TOMS instrument by NASA/GSFC.
