Abstract
Ozone is one of the most significant atmospheric constituents controlling the intensity of solar UV-B irradiance (280 to 320nm), and the decrease of the total ozone amount supported by ozonesondes and spectrometers will result in the increase of UV-B irradiance at the earth's surface. For example, 1% decrease in stratospheric ozone is expected to yield a 2-3% increase in UV-B irradiance and in the incidence of skin cancer. (omitted)
