Ultraviolet Radiation in the Arctic
In 1987, responding to serious ozone depletion reported in Antarctica, the National Science Foundation established a network of instruments to observe solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation at high latitudes. The network eventually grew to seven sites including two Arctic locations at Barrow, Alaska (71°...
