Abstract

Attenuation of solar radiation at Adelaide is estimated by a comparison of simultaneous readings taken at an urban and semi‐rural site. These show that the city contributes over one‐third of the total turbidity and the role of the aerosol layer is to scatter rather than absorb solar radiation.
