Abstract: |
Reports that solar extraterrestrial ultraviolet radiation is tracked from its impingement upon the Earth?s atmosphere to its dispersal in natural inland waters. How this is accomplished through the use of a solar spectral irradiance model, a water column optical model, directly measured (AES monitoring network) values of ground-level ultraviolet radiation and stratospheric ozone, optical properties of aquatic matter indigenous to Lake Ontario and Waskesiu Lake, Setlow DNA damage action spectrum, and phytoplankton photosynthesis inhibition spectrum. |
