A Systematic Study on the Monthly Mean Global Solar Radiation between Latitudes 65S and 65N

摘要

In this work, the monthly average daily global solar radiation reaching the earth on a horizontal surface was analyzed and compared. We used data of 115 surface stations, in a wide region of latitudes between 65S and 65N and having various climate types. The aim of this work is to investigate the climate types effects on the solar energy budgets and characterize the basic geographical and climatological parameters.
