The National Ultraviolet Monitoring Center (NUVMC) at the University of Georgia maintains a network of Brewer Spectrophotometers that collect spectrally resolved, full sky ultraviolet (UV) irradiance values. Analysis of the collected data will be presented describing the monthly, seasonal and annual doses of surface ultraviolet radiation at various sites throughout the USA. This paper presents a unique dataset of ultraviolet data using the Level 1 corrected data from the UGA/EPA/NPS Brewer Spectrophotometer network and highlights how the corrected data can be used by researchers for human, plant and animal ultraviolet exposure estimates.
