a
Ultraviolet Radiation (UVR) exposure (with contributions from UVB and UVA) in mW/m2 obtained from NASA's Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) [http://toms.gsfc.nasa.gov].
b
1996 UVR data were only available for period of July 22–December 31.
c
UVR averages were calculated for 1997–2000 period due to incomplete data for 1996.
