Abstract
- This article reports that an oceanographic survey of the southeastern Pacific has discovered a region where ultraviolet radiation penetrates deeper than has been measured in any other ocean locale. 90 percent of the light at certain ultraviolet wavelengths is blocked before it reaches a depth of 3 meters, says Richard Sempere, a marine biogeochemist at the University of the Mediterranean in Marseilles, France.
