SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on accessing solar radiation data, specifically UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C wavelengths. Users seek current and historical data for research purposes, with an emphasis on data that includes measurements from 100 nm. Resources shared include the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) solar radiation data and ASTM G173 standards. Participants confirm the usefulness of these resources while highlighting the need for more specific wavelength data.
