Abstract
Daily total ozone observations made with the Total Ozone Mapping Spect rometer (TOMS) flown on the satellite Nimbus-7 during 1978-1992, have been used in order to investigate the increase in the daily broad-band and spectral solar ultraviolet radiation reaching the ground through a recently developed parametric model. Total ozone reductions of 3.0% during summer time and 11% during winter time per decade, at St. Peter sburg (60 degrees N, 30 degrees E), Russia, cause an increase in eryth ematically active ultraviolet irradiance of at least 7% and 22%, respe ctively.
