## Abstract Attenuation of solar radiation at Adelaide is estimated by a comparison of simultaneous readings taken at an urban and semiβrural site. These show that the city contributes over oneβthird of the total turbidity and the role of the aerosol layer is to scatter rather than absorb solar rad

## Abstract Observations of global radiation received in a small catchment in Yorkshire were analysed for clear sky conditions and an empirical relationship of the form __Q__ = 1380 sin ΞΈ(__a__ + __b__ sin ΞΈ) W m^β2^ Found, between incoming solar radiation __Q__ and the solar elevation ΞΈ, where _
This paper provides examples of the use of meteorological satellite data to map the distribution of solar radiation at the earth's surface. Applications are shown for a variety of spatial scales (mesoscale, regional, continental and global) and time periods (daily, monthly and annual). Such data are
