THE RELATION BETWEEN HOURLY DIFFUSE SOLAR RADIATION AND HOURLY GLOBAL RADIATION AS AFFECTED BY GROUND COVER.

Author(s) : KIERKUS W. T., COLBORNE W. G.

Summary

THE PREPARATION OF HOURLY WEATHER DATA GENERALLY REQUIRES THAT THE DIFFUSE SOLAR RADIATION ON A HORIZONTAL SURFACE BE DETERMINED BY CALCULATION BASED ON THE GLOBAL SOLAR RADIATION. MANY FACTORS ARE INVOLVED THAT DETERMINE THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DIFFUSE PORTION OF THE GLOBAL RADIATION. THE PAPER ANALYZES THE EFFECT OF GROUND SNOW COVER AND SOLAR ALTITUDE ANGLE ON THE RELATIONSHIP. RELATIONSHIPS ARE PRESENTED THAT PERMIT THE CALCULATION OF DIFFUSE SOLAR RADIATION, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE SOLAR ALTITUDE ANGLE AND THE < SNOW > OR < NO-SNOW > GROUND COVER.
