Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By April 1990 the network will extend in latitude from Darwin (12 E) to Antarctica (67 S) [Casey, Davis and Mawson - the permanently - manned Australian stations] and in longitude from Perth (116 E) to Brisbane (153 E). Two thirds of the network is already providing data. Details of the systems including spectral responsivity, calibrations and data handling will be discussed. Preliminary results from the tropics, midlatitudes and Antarctica will be given.The usefulness of a simple model will be discussed together with attempts to obtain cloud cover information from satellite reflectivity data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the rapid developments in the UV-B measurement techniques and the rapidly growing research in the field in the late 80's and early 90's, we organized a large gathering of distinguished experts in a NATO Advanced Study Institute, held in Halkidiki, Greece on October, 2-11. 1995. The Institute was organized so as to include state of the art lectures on most aspects of solar ultraviolet radiation and its effects. This was achieved by extended lectures and discussions given in five sessions by 27 lecturers and a demonstration of filed measurements and calibration techniques at the end of the Institute. The ASI began with the sun and fundamentals on solar radiative emissions and their variability in time and continued with the interaction of solar Ultraviolet with the atmosphere through the complex scattering processes and photochemical reactions involved. Particular emphasis was given to changes in atmospheric composition imposed by different manifestations of the solar activity cycle. as well as on the modelling of radiative transfer through the atmosphere and the ocean under variable environmental conditions. Overviews on the ozone issue. its monitoring and variability were extensively discussed with emphasis on the observed acceleration of ozone decline in the early 90's. This acceleration had as a consequence, significant increases in UV-B radiation observed at a few world-wide distributed stations.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook provides a comprehensive understanding of the scattered and filtered solar UV environment, the techniques to measure this radiation and the resulting UV exposures to humans. As is well known, the incidence of skin cancer and sun-related eye disorders can be reduced by minimization exposure to UV radiation. The book aims to quantify, understand and provide information on the effects of filtered and scattered UV light.

Download or read book The Role of Solar Ultraviolet Radiation in Marine Ecosystems written by John Calkins and published by Springer. This book was released on 1982-07-31 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiration for this monograph derived from the realization that human technical capacity has become so great that we can, even without malice, substantially modify and damage the gigantic and remote outer limit of our planet, the stratosphere. Above the atmosphere of our ordinary experience, the stratosphere is a tenuous layer of gas, blocked from rapid exchange with the troposphere, some twenty kilometers above the surface of the earth, seldom reached by humans, and yet a fragile shell which shields life on earth from a band of solar radiation of demonstrable injurious potential. It is immediately obvious that if stratospheric ozone were reduced and consequently the intensity of solar ultraviolet radiation reaching the earth's surface were increased, then human skin cancer, known to be related to solar ultraviolet exposure, would also be increased. But how does one even begin to estimate the impact of changed solar ultraviolet radiation on such a diverse. interacting, and complex ecosystem as the oceans? Studies which I conducted in Iceland focused on this question and were noted to the Marine Sciences Panel of the Scientific Affairs Committee of NATO by Professor Unnsteinn Stefansson, leading to a request to investigate the possibility of organizing a NATO sponsored Advanced Research Institute on this topic.

Download or read book Surface Level Ultraviolet B Radiation in the Tropics written by M. Ilyas and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar ultraviolet radiation measurements made at the equatorial location of Penang (5.2 N, 100 E) were used to establish the cloud cover effect on the incoming solar ultraviolet radiation. This together with long term global cloud cover data is used to evaluate the annual ultraviolet-B radiation received at the surface under unperturbed (present) ozone level conditions at the tropical latitudes as well as the relative latitudinal increase in UV-B dosage due to a depletion in global ozone content. The annual cloud cover and incoming content. The annual cloud cover and incoming radiation combine to produce a nearly constant increase in the UV-B dosage for any depletion in the ozone layer. Also, in absolute terms, at the tropical latitudes this increase alone will be more than the total radiation input at the high latitudes. Therefore, the protection of ozone layer is very important from tropical perspectives. [Author's abstract].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every four years the photobio1ogists of the world get together in an International Congress. They discuss and learn not only re search details and findings in their own, often narrow, fields but educate one another broadly in the many biological systems that interact with light. It is this latter purpose that is exemplified by these proceedings - the Symposium papers and Workshop summaries of the VIIth International Congress on Photobiology held in Rome, August 29 - September 3, 1976. Photobiology is one of the few true interdisciplinary fields. It has an air of excitement about it. A glance at the table of contents indicates clearly that photobiology and its practitioners (individuals whose primary interests are in medicine, plant sci ences, animal sciences, molecular properties, and energy conversion) interact with the entire and diverse world of living creatures. We supply not only the basic research background to help evaluate many present-day environmental problems but are also evaluating and pointing the way toward solutions to a number of these problems.
