Abstract

Although it has been claimed that the daily range of screen temperature increases with altitude on a mountain, this appears not to be true generally. Data from sixteen sources indicate a confusion of evidence, though there appears to be some evidence of an increase of daily temperature range with height from 0‐200 m, and of a decrease between 750 m and 3400 m. The low‐altitude increase is attributed to the sea's moderating influence at the coast. The higher altitude decrease may be due to stronger winds or to more cloud. The evidence for a decrease may be confounded in some places by either peculiarities of locale or the increased daily fluctuation of radiation at highest altitudes.

## Abstract Simple empirical relationships based on the hours of bright sunshine, the daily temperature range and relative humidity have been developed to estimate the daily global solar irradiation at Corvallis, Oregon (U.S.A.). It is observed that the greater part of the variability in the daily
