Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR)

Total Ozone

Notes:
1- Ozone values are only displayed for times when the solar zenith angle is smaller than 75°.
2- Ozone values can appear abnormally high during cloudy periods. This effect is caused by multiple scattering of photons inside the cloud. This leads to an enhanced photon path length, resulting in an amplification of absorption by ozone molecules that are located inside the cloud.
