[WR] Otter Valley, Devon - High UV

...With altitude, at the top of a mountain UV levels are higher because the air is thinner and cleaner. It's not really related to how thin the air is but because the UV photons have travelled through less atmosphere and so are attenuated less. If the air pressure was the same at the top and bottom of a mountain the UV would still be higher at the top. -- Brian Wakem Lower Bourne, Farnham, Surrey http://www.brianwakem.co.uk/weather Live obs @ 15:17:31 : 20.9C, DP 15.7C, RH 72%, 0.0 mm |
