Effect of aerosols and NO<sub>2</sub> concentration on ultraviolet actinic flux near Mexico City during MILAGRO: measurements and model calculations

Urban air pollution absorbs and scatters solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and thus has a potentially large effect on tropospheric photochemical rates. We present the first detailed comparison between actinic fluxes (AF) in the wavelength range 330–420 nm measured in highly polluted conditions and s...
