Abstract

Some empirical formulae have been attempted in the past to compute mean daily global solar radiation from sunshine or cloud data. The instruments measuring solar radiation, depending on the method used measure either direct or diffuse radiation. It is possible to correlate the sunshine hours measured and the direct solar radiation received. An empirical formula has been attempted and tested using one year(1971) data for Delhi. The correlation is found to be high except in the month of April.
