Update on UV4Plants Network Meeting 2020
Rearrangement of Kiel meeting
Dear participants of the UV4Plants meeting!
Gareth Jenkins has written a letter to you all.
For us as organizers it is at the moment the easiest way to simply postpone the meeting in the same order and program as planned for next week to the week from the 11th to 16th of October. Also your contributions will stay the same, unless you want to change them.
A new and additional information: As a deadline for changes of the abstracts, cancellations or new participations we are setting the deadline of the 30th of August.
Stay healthy! We hope to welcome you all in Kiel in October,
Frauke Pescheck and Wolfgang Bilger

Spring Ozone Hole detected on 2020-04-04
In the news today in Finland is told that a Spring ozone hole similar to that usual over Antarctica has been detected today for the first time over the Arctic. Data is from sounding in the north of Finland. News says: 90% of stratospheric ozone reduction at an altitude of 18 km. Current ozone column of 271 DU compared to the usual 416 DU at this location and time of the year. I found the news only in Finnish, published a bit over an hour ago. Anyway, current UV-Index and 2-days forecast is available at https://en.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi/uv-index. This page covers the whole planet and has links to detailed maps for different regions.
