Notes
  • This article intends to introduce geographers to the concept of UVI by discussing the spatial and temporal variations of the UVI and minute-to-burn time in the contiguous United States. Since the ultraviolet index is a next-day forecast of the likely exposure to ultraviolet radiation weighted by the erythemal action spectrum for a particular location at noon (EPA 1994a), an attempt is made to verify the UVJ forecast for Los Angeles by the measured UVl from the Yangkee's environmental UVB-1 pyranometer located at Northridge.
