UVsäteilyntaso
UVsäteilyntaso refers to the intensity of ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching the Earth's surface. This level is a crucial factor in assessing the potential for UV damage to human skin, eyes, and other organisms. Several factors influence the UVsäteilyntaso, including the ozone layer's thickness, cloud cover, altitude, time of day, and time of year. The ozone layer acts as a natural shield, absorbing much of the harmful UV radiation. Thicker ozone layers lead to lower UVsäteilyntaso, while depleted ozone layers, as seen in areas affected by ozone depletion, result in higher levels.
Cloud cover significantly reduces UV radiation, although some UV rays can still penetrate thin or scattered
UVsäteilyntaso is often communicated through UV index forecasts, which provide a standardized measure of UV intensity
