The variation with latitude of the regression parameters a and b in the conventional equation of Γ

between total solar radiation on a horizontal surface (Q) and hours of bright sunshine (n) has been examined. It has been shown that the slope of the relationship b is effectively constant, while the threshold value a is a function of latitude. An empirical relationship leading to the Γ

A curve is derived showing the relation between incoming solar radiation, as measured by a Linke Pyranometer, and the degree-hours of temperature between sunrise and sunset at Nairobi (Kenya).
## Abstract The relation between the duration of sunshine hours and radiation derived from ten years of daily records at Eskdalemuir and Cawood differs significantly from formulae in general use with the Penman formula. When used in the Penman formula with meteorological data from North East Englan
The effect that distance ( d ) has upon the correlation coefficient (r) obtained between paired radiation ( R ) and sunshine (S) stations was determined for the North Central region of the United States. Distances between stations vaned from 0 to 608 km. In the regression of r against d three featu
