Measurement of the middle ultraviolet at Durban
Abstract
A project to measure the UV and visible spectral irradiance of global and diffuse daylight and direct sunlight over a one year period was undertaken at Durban. Special attention was given to the 295 to 315 nm region which is of biological interest. One of the goals of the project was to establish how well measured values agree with those obtained semi-empirically by computation. In spite of the many variables and some uncertainties, concerning the different parameters, fairly good agreement has been obtained with the results of Dave and others.
