## Abstract Daily data of solar irradiation were used for analysing spatial decrease of correlation coefficients within northeast Brazil (a region extending over more than l.5 million km^2^). Available data of the regional climatological network correspond to typical distances between stations of 1

โฆ Synopsis
A world geographical relationship between average annual relative sunshine (n/N) and the a and b constants of the ngstr6m formula for estimating global solar radiation was used to determine those constants for 96 stations widely distributed throughout Brazil. Good agreement was observed between the values so obtained and that resulted from Eppley pyranometer measurements in the only two stations in Brazil where such measurements were taken up-to-date.
In this way, normal (1931--1960), monthly and annual, global solar radiation, were estimated from sunshine measurements.
Eight seasonal types and nine sub-types of global solar radiation distribution were identified and its geographical distribution mapped.

The amount of solar irradiation on a mountain slope is an important parameter for describing the climatology of a sloping site, but measurements of such radiation are not easily obtained. Daily totals of solar irradiation can be estimated by using published tables of potential solar irradiation if t
