Real-time UV levels at
South Pole Station, Antarctica

GUV offline for winter
This GUV is removed during the austral winter months until approximately late August. However, you can still retrieve data from the last season.

Measurements are performed with a GUV-511 filter radiometer. Graphs are updated every day. A description of the instrument and its calibration can be found here.

Total Ozone

Notes:
1- Ozone values are only displayed for times when the solar zenith angle is smaller than 83°.
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.
