  In this instrument:
     latitude equivalent hours means hours of exposure multiplied by the appropriate latitude weighting factor shown below.

Latitude        Latitude weighting factor
Tropical        23.5° North - 23.5° South  1.0
Subtropical     > 23.5° - 35° North        0.75
                > 23.5° - 35° South        0.75
Warm temperate  > 35° - 45° North          0.5
                > 35° - 45° South          0.5
Cool temperate  > 45° - 65° North          0.25
                > 45° - 65° South          0.25

     Note: Sunlight exposure is calculated as the sum of sunlight exposure in each separate latitude, accounting for the different sunlight intensity in each latitude (weighting factor).
     Sum of sunlight exposure = (hours spent in tropical latitude x tropical latitude weighting factor) + (hours spent in subtropical latitude x subtropical latitude weighting factor) + (hours spent in warm temperate latitude x warm temperate latitude weighting factor) + (hours spent in cool temperate latitude x cool temperate latitude weighting factor)
                                     MRCA means the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004.
