Thanks for your sentiment muf.
Truth be known, I'm glad to get into something at times (even if I do "overdo it" a bit on occasions). This "carer" lark can get you down a bit when it's 24-7 and it also limits your plans for doing other things.
After posting on "biasing" to SoM I decided to have one more go at this, so I googled 'UV biasing' and got this:

A discussion communiqué concerning the satellite pixel (transmitted data content) available for interpretation into surface level data.
It looks like a lost cause for satellites on surface UV. Despite my doubt that the correct sensors are being used to gather the full "solar variation", it seems that information about the atmospheric admittance isn't sent from the satellite either. Thus, ground crews need to splice other data from other satellites that scanned at other times into the mix to get a surface UV insolation level. Plenty of margin for error!
Just after I told SoM that I put my main trust in satellites too!
Best regards, suricat.
