  • The Analysis of Ultraviolet Radiat1on in the Dead Sea Basin, Israel
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLIMATOLOGY, VOL. 17, 1697±1704 (1997) THE ANALYSIS OF ULTRAVIOLET RADIAT1ON IN THE DEAD SEA BASIN, ISRAEL A. I. KUDISH1,*, E. EVSEEV1 AND A. P. KUSHELEVSKY2,{ 1Solar Energy Laboratory, Department of Chemical Engineering, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer Sheva 84105, Israel. 2Department of Nuclear Engineering, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer Sheva 84105, Israel. email: [email protected] Received 18 March 1997 Revised 9 July 1997 Accepted 9 July 1997 ABSTRACT The Dead Sea basin offers a unique site to study the attenuation of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation, as it is situated at the lowest point on Earth, about 400 m below sea level, and the air above the Dead Sea is characterized by a relatively high aerosol content due to the very high salt content of the Dead Sea. In view of its being an internationally recognized centre for climatotherapy, it is of interest to study both its UV intensity and attenuation as a function of wavelength relative to other sites. In order to provide a basis for intercomparison of the radiation intensity parameters measured at the Dead Sea, a second set of identical parameters were being measured simultaneously at a second site, located at a distance of ca. 65 km and to the west and situated above sea-level (Beer Sheva at 315 m a.s.l.). The ultraviolet radiation, both UV-B and UV-A, were monitored continuously at both sites using Solar Light Co. Inc. broad-band meters. In addition, sporadic measurements utilizing a narrow-band spectroradiometer were performed to ascertain the extent of site-speci®c spectral selectivity in the ultraviolet spectrum.

Wrase Assmann, T., Buse, J, Chikatunov, V., Drees, C., Friedman, A.-L.-L., Härdtle, W., Levanony, T., Renan, I., Seyfferth, A. & Wrase, D. W. 2012. The ground beetle tribe Trechini in Israel and adjacent regions (Coleoptera, Carabidae). Spixiana 35 (2): 193-208. Based on the study of approximately 700 specimens, we give an overview of the systematics and taxonomy, distribution, dispersal power, and habitat preference of the ground beetles belonging to the tribe Trechini in Israel. We provide an identi- fication key to all Trechini species in Israel (and the adjacent regions in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt), supported by photographs of species with verifiable records. Trechus dayanae spec. nov., a member of the Trechus austriacus group, is described from the Golan Heights and Mount Hermon. The new species is similar to Trechus pamphylicus but can be distinguished by its colour, microsculpture, length of antennae, shape of pronotum, and characteristics of the aedeagus. Type mate- rial of Trechus labruleriei and Trechus libanenis was studied and photographed. The species rank of T. labruleriei (stat. nov.) is re-established. At least five species of Trechini occur in Israel (Perileptus stierlini, Trechus crucifer, T. quadristriatus, T. daya- nae spec. nov., and T. saulcyanus); for three further species (Perileptus areolatus, Trechoblemus micros, Trechus labruleriei) we are not aware of any verifiable records, but past, or current, occurrence of the species is possible; the published record of Trechus libanensis from Israel was, beyond a doubt, a misidentification.
