Solar Ultraviolet Radiation Measurements by O-Nitrobenzaldehyde Actinometry

The use of the o-nitrobenzaldehyde actinometer to measure solar UV radiation in clear marine waters has been described (Fleischmann 1989). The low diurnal UV flux reported at the surface of Discovery Bay, Jamaica (18 degree 28'30"N, 77 degree 24'30"W), conflicts with our measurem...

Description
Summary:	The use of the o-nitrobenzaldehyde actinometer to measure solar UV radiation in clear marine waters has been described (Fleischmann 1989). The low diurnal UV flux reported at the surface of Discovery Bay, Jamaica (18 degree 28'30"N, 77 degree 24'30"W), conflicts with our measurements in San Antonio Bay, Chile (33 degree 36'S, 71 degree 36'W), and with those of the NSF UV spectroradiometer network in the Antarctic region (Booth et al. 1991).
