Depth profiles of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR), photosynthetically available radiation (PAR), and related variables were measured beneath the thick, permanent ice cover of four lakes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys (77°S, 162°E). These lakes span a range of phytoplankton concentrations (0.1–10 μg Ch...
