We have now characterised the Antarctic skies sufficiently for reasonable radiative-transfer models to be applied to the problem with reliability. No one else has made a polarisation and sky intensity distribution study, so we feel that we have made a significant contribution here.The UV monitoring by the NSF network is better than our Victoria group can do with our the limited resources, so while the long term variations in UVB radiation are important, there seems little point in competing with the US who are measuring at McMurdo.
