Spectral measurements were made of incident and undersea solar irradiance in the October and November 1993 austral spring, during transits of low ozone {open_quotes}hole{close_quotes} over the Weddell-Scotia Confluence. Several scanning radiometers were intercalibrated between research groups and used for measurements of ultraviolet (UV) and visible exposure for in situ processes and for on-deck and in-lab productivity, photoinhibition, and photochemistry experiments. The intercalibration of instruments also gave valuable information for comparison of data from various published and unpublished sources. 2 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.
