Observations with a four-channel UV radiometer in
Santiago, Chile (33.5øS, 70.6øW) from January 1992 to
December 1998 are presented. Chinreels are centered at 305,
320, 340 and 380 nm with a 10 nm bandwidth. Measurements
were made at one-minute intervals. Hourly mean values at
noon for 305 and 340 nm are presented as well as
