SGER: Recent Changes of Solar Ultraviolet Radiation in the Arctic

该奖项将支持在阿拉斯加巴罗和格陵兰萨米特继续进行紫外线和可见光太阳辐照度观测，直至2009年5月31日，并支持随后对经过充分校准的数据进行处理，以提交给世界臭氧和紫外线辐射数据中心以及北极观测网络的北极数据和信息合作服务处。观测将保持巴罗和萨米特两个地点的完整校准紫外线和可见光太阳辐照度数据的完整记录，巴罗和萨米特的数据采集始于1990年和2004年。向数据中心提交数据将确保科学界和其他相关方可以自由和公开地获得这些数据。巴罗和萨米特观测站是国家科学基金会紫外线光谱辐射监测网的一部分，该监测网支持研究平流层臭氧消耗和其他气候因素对地球表面紫外线辐射的影响，以及对水生和陆地生态系统和人类的影响。 更广泛的影响包括向教育工作者、研究人员和决策者提供数据，例如通过持续为评估报告提供资料。

This award will support continued UV and visible solar irradiance observations at Barrow, Alaska, and Summit, Greenland, until 31 May 2009, and subsequent processing of fully calibrated data for submission to the World Ozone and Ultraviolet Radiation Data Centre (WOUDC) and the Cooperative Arctic Data and Information Service (CADIS) of the Arctic Observing Network (AON). The observations will maintain unbroken records of fully calibrated UV and visible solar irradiance data at Barrow, where data acquisition began in 1990, and at Summit, where data acquisition began in 2004. Submission of data to the data centers will ensure that they are freely and openly available to the scientific community and other interested parties. The Barrow and Summit observing sites are part of the NSF Ultraviolet Spectral Irradiance Monitoring Network (UVSIMN) that has supported research into the effects of stratospheric ozone depletion and other climatic factors on UV radiation at the Earth's surface, and consequences for aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and people. The broader impacts include the provision of data to educators, researchers, and policy makers, for example through continued contributions to assessment reports.
