Extreme sunbathing: Three weeks of small total O3 columns and high UV radiation over the southern tip of South America during the 2009 Antarctic O3 hole season
Description: This paper presents an analysis of satellite and ground-based measurements of total O3 columns and the UV index of a unique event during the 2009 Antarctic O3 hole season. During this period, small total O3 columns and large UV index values were observed over the southern tip of South America. Comparison of ground-based and satellite measurements of total O3 columns and satellite based calculations of the UVI index show excellent agreement. [Source: GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS]
