Abstract

The paper discusses the diurnal and seasonal variations of diffuse solar radiation on a horizontal surface from measurements made during 1958 and 1959 at Poona and Delhi. Diffuse radiation is maximum during the summer and monsoon months, May S as a re.3ult of increased turbidity in summer and clouding during monsoon. On the whole, diffuse radiation at Poona is more than that at Delhi. The paper discusses also the ratio of diffuse radiation to total radiation at the two stations. The proportion of diffuse to total radiation is higher at Poona than at Delhi throughout the year except during December to March.
