Abstract :
The aim of this study is to clarify the distribution of ultraviolet radiation in coastal and inland areas. An adhesive-backed ultraviolet indicator, which is able to easily measure the amount of integral ultraviolet radiation by color change, was utilized. The results show the characteristics of the indicator and the distribution of ultraviolet radiation in coastal and inland areas
