abstract: 'We report on [*[FUSE]{}*]{} spectra of three U Gem-type, long period, dwarf novae, UU Aql, BV Cen and CH UMa taken during their quiescence intervals. We discuss the line identifications in their spectra and attempt to characterize the source(s) of their FUV flux distribution. Archival [*[IUE]{}*]{} spectrum of CH UMa and BV Cen in quiescence were identified as having a matching flux level with the [*[FUSE]{}*]{} spectra and these were combined with each [*[FUSE]{}*]{} spectrum to broaden the wavelength coverage and further constrain model fits. Multi-component synthetic spectral fits from our model grids, consisting of single temperature white dwarfs, two-temperature white dwarfs, accretion disks and white dwarfs plus accretion disks, were applied to the [*[FUSE]{}*]{} spectra alone and to the combined [*[FUSE]{}*]{} + [*[IUE]{}*]{} spectra. We present the results of our model analyses and their implications.'

Introduction
============

Dwarf novae (DNe) are close interacting binaries in which a Roche-lobe filling main sequence-like dwarf transfers matter with angular momentum through a disk onto a white dwarf (WD). The rapid disk
