There are four instruments in Ireland, three of which are under the charge of Dr. Tom O'Connor at University College in Galway. They are a Robertson-Berger meter, a broadband photopic detector, and a UV-A detector. These three instruments, developed by The National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB), constitute the Solar Monitoring System (SMS). There are a number of SMSs already deployed by NRPB in the UK. Calibration for the SMS in Mace Head, Ireland is carried out by the NRPB. The fourth instrument is a spectral Brewer Mark IV run by the Chief Scientist at Valentia Observatory.
