Brief Description (Abstract):

U V?-?B radiation intensity data recorded at the?Schirmacher?Region of East Antarctica during the years February 1, 1998 to January 31, 2000, has been?analyzed?to study the intensity of U V?-?B radiation in relation to the terrestrial ecosystem of?Schirmacher?Region. The U V?-?B data has been recorded using a?Bio meter, measuring the intensity of U V?-?B radiation in terms of M E D / h r (Minimum Erythemal Dose Per Hour). 1.0 MED/hr is defined as the amount of U V?-?B energy of 5.83 microwatts/cm2 of irradiation, falling continuously for one hour. 1.0 M E D / h r is the amount of energy with which?if?the average skin is exposed for one-hour irradiation, the skin will show minimal redness. Maximum amount of U V-B radiation during the whole years was recorded as 3.998 M E D / h r on December 1, 1998 and 2.806 M E D / h r on October 27, 1999, which exactly fall in the austral spring period of the years 1998 and 1999.?
