UV radiation penetration into the marine ecosystem of McMurdo Sound
Entry ID: K068_2002_2006_NZ_1

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: UV radiation transmission measurements on sea ice surface and through the annual sea ice into the underlying water column were made during Antarctic spring months (October - November) in conjunction with the spring-time ozone hole, over several seasons (2002-2006) to characterise the underwater light field of McMurdo Sound. Measuring ambient UV-R, the penetration of UV-R through the annual ice ... View entire text
