ARPANSA - Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency

ARPANSA maintains a network of dataloggers situated in major Australian cities and in the Australian Antarctic territories. These dataloggers continuously record the solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) levels at each site. This data is available as UV Index and UV Dose values and graphs for major Australian cities for the current day on the ARPANSA website.
