Scientific paper

Measurements of ultraviolet solar spectra from Palmer Station, Antarctica have defined the surface radiation environment of the region during the Austral spring of 1988. At wavelengths where absorption by ozone is negligible, 335-345 nm, the noontime irradiances show the expected gradual increase from the first day of measurements, September 19 through December 21. Large variations related to cloudiness are imposed on this background. At wavelengths less than 310 nm the influence of the 1988 ozone 'hole' is apparent. The noontime irradiance observed in the wavelength band 295-305 nm October 19, two months prior to summer solstice, exceeded any value measured through December 21.
