Abstract

Results of surface radiation balance measurements at Poona, Calcutta and Delhi during the IQSY are presented.  The diurnal, seasonal and spatial variation of net radiation are discussed with reference to solar elevation, cloudiness albedo and surface moisture and temperature.  Net radiation during day is a maximum during the clear summer months and least during cloudy monsoon and winter months. At night net radiation negative and generally very small or zero.  Marked differences are present in the magnitude and the distribution  of net radiation at Poona, Calcutta and Delhi.
