glUV: a global UV‐B radiation data set for macroecological studies

What is it about?

Ultraviolet radiation (UV) is not only dangerous for unprotected human skin but also for animals and plants. To study and predict the impact of increasing UV-B doses on organisms a worldwide dataset about where and how much of this radiation hits the earth surface is needed. Here we provide and describe global gridded layers of UV-B radiation based on satellite measured data.
