UV Radiation in Global Climate Change Measurements, Modeling and Effects on Ecosystems /

Numerous studies report that ultraviolet (UV) radiation is harmful to living organisms and detrimental to human health. Growing concerns regarding the increased levels of UV-B radiation that reach the earth's surface have led to the development of ground- and space-based measurement programs. F...
