Erythemal UV radiation at Davis station summer 1998

Data provides the date, time and 10 min cumulative erythemal irradiance at Davis Station for downwelling solar radiation and the irradiance at depth beneath neutral density screen (ND-polythene) and 3.3, 5.5, and 9.0 mm borosilicate glass. These light treatments simulated water column depths of 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.6 m depth (calculated using Beer's Law and the average UV transmittance of Antarctic seawater at 4 ice-edge sites). A no erythemal UV control (transmittance greater than 375 nm) was also used in which samples were incubated beneath UV-stabilised polycarbonate. The fields in this dataset are: date Davis solar time downwell wnd w3.3 w5.5 w9
