| Abstract: | This article concerns the climatological characterization of the Adrano site, where is operating the EURELIOS solar mirror power plant. Meteorological characteristics such as climatic trend of air temperature, wind roses, average monthly values of global radiation, and insolation are presented. In particular, the percentage of solar radiation received at the site has been evaluated with respect to the extraterrestrial radiation and the average daily insolation at Adrano has been compared with that of a nearby station (Catania) for which statistical, long-term estimates exist. |
