San Diego has a UV Monitoring Site!

After we discussed the loss of mid-latitude ozone, I began to wonder if any monitoring of the ozone loss in the San Diego region was currently under study. Interestingly, the National Science Foundation has one of its six UV monitoring sites in San Diego! A high resolution spectroradiometer is installed and operating to record the UV data, which unfortunately could not be obtained. (The NSF site requires one to be registered to access the data.) However, it spans from present to 1992. Also, on this site was a Student's Guide to Ozone and UV, which was a nice summary of the basics we have been discussing in class.Here is the website in case you want to review: SD UV
