Monthly average UV INDEX (1997-2001)
The monthly mean intensity of UV at ground level takes into account information on the time of day, date, latitude, altitude as well as the presence of haze and ozone concentrations. In this case the ozone monthly average (1997 to 2001) from TOMS were used. The calculated monthly averages of UV radiation intensity is converted to an index that estimates the maximum UV intensity for midday (1pm during daylight saving for those states with daylight saving) - assuming cloud-free skies (Lemus-Deschamps et al., 2004, Aust.Met. Mag.53, No4, 239-250)
