Hall, E S. THE UV MONITORING RESEARCH PROGRAM. Presented at US Global Change Research Program Seminar, Washington, DC, February 24, 2003.
Impact/Purpose:
To understand and characterize the factors, including optical transmission properties of aerosols, which affect the intensity of UV-B radiation measured at the earth's surface in order to improve our estimates of ecosystem and human exposures to UV-B radiation; to understand the relationship between UV radiation and total column ozone; to model UV-B exposures at different locations, conditions, and times in order to estimate UV-B exposures throughout the US. This objective is achieved by maintaining a strict quality assurance program for both the Brewer Spectrophotometers in the network and the UV data obtained from the Brewers.
