Ultraviolet Spectral Radiance of the Horizon Sky.

Abstract

Representative data are presented concerning the spectral radiance of the horizon sky for wavelengths between 300 and 420 nm at three observation azimuths at different times of the day under various meteorological conditions. The measurements were made over water at the Chesapeake Bay. The radiance values were usually between 3 and 8 microW/sq cm sr nm in the 350-400 nm region during the middle of the day. (Author)
