Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation has been hypothesized as a potential cause of amphibian population declines and increased incidence of malformations. Realistic studies …
This study focuses on the impact of natural levels of UVBR (ultraviolet-B radiation: 280 to 315 nm) on bacterio-and phytoplankton (< 10 mm) from the Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea. Incident …

In the northern regions UV-B radiation levels have increased due to ozone depletion. A two- week laboratory experiment was conducted to measure the effects of UV-B radiation on the …
A simple ecological model, coupled to a primitive equation circulation model, is able to replicate the observed alongshore transport of the toxic dinoflagellate Karenia brevis on the …
Satellite instruments currently provide global maps of surface UV irradiance by combining backscattered radiance data with radiative transfer models. The models are often limited by …
