Using TOMS Version 7 ozone and reflectivity data from 1979 to 1992 and the corresponding TOMS surface UV retrieval algorithm, Herman et al. [42] estimated that zonally averaged mean annual surface UV irradiances at 300, 310, and 320 nanometers (nm) increased by 15%, 6%, and 2% per decade, respectively, for the latitude band 60º to 70º N.
