The calculation of the spectral distribution of natural ultraviolet radiation under clear day conditions

Phys Med Biol. 1977 Mar;22(2):309-16. doi: 10.1088/0031-9155/22/2/010.

Abstract

Empirical equations based upon experimental measurements of Bener (1972) have been developed which allow the computation of the spectral distribution of global ultraviolet radiation encountered at sea level under clear day conditions for any desired time of day, day of year and geographical latitude.
