Abstract
The previous chapter has described the details of the spectrum of diffuse ambient solar UV radiation in a number of different environments. This chapter outlines the broadband erythemal UV, UVA and the visible irradiances in the shade of trees. The percentage of these irradiances in the shade compared to those in the sun may change with season and the time of day due to the relative proportions of the direct to diffuse radiation changing with SZA. Consequently, the data from the measurements presented in this chapter will be for different times of the day in each of the seasons. Additionally, the percentage of diffuse broadband erythemal UV and UVA radiation in both full sun and in the shade of trees is compared. The resulting amount and distribution of the personal solar erythemal UV exposures to humans in the tree shade will be discussed.
